Here are some of the questions you may have:
How can I win a medical malpractice lawsuit in New York City?
If you are injured due to a medical professional’s carelessness, you will have to hire an experienced New York City personal injury attorney who can gather and present enough evidence to satisfy the burden of proof on your behalf. Keep in mind that medical malpractice claims are not always easy to win, which is why you need an attorney who has been helping victims of medical malpractice for years. To win a medical malpractice claim, you will have to gather and present sufficient evidence to prove that your doctor owed you a duty of care, and that he breached that duty of care, thereby causing you to sustain serious harm and incur significant damages as a result. Oftentimes, doctors’ careers are on the line in these claims, so you can expect they will hire aggressive legal representation to combat your claim. That is why you must do the same.
What is the statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims in New York City?
In most cases, when someone is injured, they will have to file their personal injury claim in accordance with the state’s statute of limitations. Generally, in New York, the statute of limitations is three years, which gives the wrongly injured party three years from the date of their accident to sue the party responsible. However, if you are someone who has been injured in an incident of medical malpractice, you must file your claim even sooner, as the statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims in NYS is, generally, 2.5 years. This is a very strict timeframe, and if you wait any longer than 2.5 years, under most circumstances, you will be permanently time-barred from suing. Our firm is ready to begin the claims process on your behalf today so you can recover the compensation you deserve and need to heal. All you have to do is give us a call.
