When Medical Care Fails: Pursuing Justice in New York's Medical Malpractice Cases
Medical professionals are entrusted with our health, and we rely on their expertise to provide safe and effective care. However, when medical errors occur, the consequences can be devastating, resulting in serious injuries or even loss of life. In New York, victims of medical malpractice have the right to seek justice and compensation for their pain, suffering, and more.
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider, such as a doctor, nurse, or hospital, fails to meet the standard of care expected within the medical community. These cases often involve negligent actions, such as misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, dental malpractice, plastic surgery malpractice, and more. To pursue a successful medical malpractice claim in New York, the following elements must typically be established:
Duty of Care: Demonstrating that a healthcare provider had a duty to provide care, which is established through the patient-provider relationship.
Breach of Duty: Proving that the provider breached the duty of care by acting negligently or recklessly.
Causation: Establishing that the provider's negligence directly caused the patient's injuries.
Damages: Documenting the damages incurred due to the medical error, such as medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and ongoing healthcare costs.
