Do I Have a Legitimate Medical Malpractice Case in New York?

Medical malpractice is an issue that affects every aspect of the health profession, so it is important to be aware of telltale signs that suggest the occurrence of medical malpractice. A typical medical malpractice case involves a doctor-patient relationship in which the doctor was negligent in his treatment—whether it be in his or her failure to diagnose a specific health issue or his involvement in a botched surgical procedure, for example. A successful medical malpractice case establishes that the doctor’s negligence was the direct cause of the patient’s injury, and that the injury led to damages such as but not limited to physical pain, mental anguish, mounting medical bills, and/or lost work and lost earning capacity. If you feel that your injury involved these elements, we advise talking to one of our New York City medical malpractice attorneys to delve into the details of your case.
