Your Questions & Answer
What are some common examples of medical malpractice?
Misdiagnosis: Incorrectly diagnosing an illness or delayed diagnosis.
Surgical Errors: Operating on the wrong body part or patient, leaving objects inside the body, or anesthesia mistakes.
Medication Errors: Prescribing or administering the wrong medication or dosage.

What is medical malpractice?
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional or institution provides substandard care that results in harm or injury to a patient. This can involve errors in diagnosis, treatment, aftercare, or health management. Common examples include surgical errors, misdiagnosis, medication mistakes, and failure to diagnose.
How long do I have to file a medical malpractice claim? (Statute of Limitations)
The statute of limitations for medical malpractice cases defines the time frame in which you can file a claim. It typically starts when the incident occurs but can be extended if you're receiving ongoing treatment from the same provider.
The statute of limitations in a medical malpractice case can be difficult to pin down. In most instances, New York law requires that a case be filed within 2 1/2 years of the date of injury. This timeline is shorter than other cases of negligence and personal injury, where the victim generally has up to three years to file a claim.
How do I know if I have a medical malpractice case?
To determine if you have a valid medical malpractice case, consider the following:
Did you suffer an injury or harm due to a healthcare provider's actions or inactions?
Did the provider fail to follow standard medical practices?
Did this failure directly cause your injury? Consulting with a medical malpractice lawyer can help you assess the merits of your case. For further guidance, please reach out to our experienced attorneys.
