What Is Medical Malpractice?
In order to show that an injury is the result of medical malpractice, there are three things that must be proven:
- It must be shown that the injury or death was a result of a breach of the accepted standard of care. That is, it must be proven that a doctor or health care professional made a mistake that would not be expected from a competent practitioner.
- The mistake made by the health care practitioner must be proven to be the definitive cause of injury or death. Most often, medical malpractice occurs when a patient is being treated for an existing illness. It must be proven that the care provided by the health care professional is the cause of the present injury, not the existing illness or some other factor.
- There must be demonstrable damages caused directly by the injury. Damages from medical malpractice may take the form of pain and suffering, increased medical bills, lost wages or benefits, or the loss of a loved one in the case of wrongful death.
If you think you may have a medical malpractice case, contact Proner & Proner today. With extensive experience litigating medical malpractice lawsuits, the lawyers at our New York City firm are your best choice for expert representation.
How Can a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Help Me?
Proving medical malpractice is often a complicated process, and the help of one of our experienced lawyers in New York City is invaluable. Expert witnesses, usually in the form of other healthcare professionals or doctors, must testify that the actions of the healthcare provider were indeed faulty, and that the injury suffered by you or your loved ones would not have been suffered had mistakes not been made. Finally, the damages must be demonstrated and quantified, and oftentimes a financial expert or an economist is required to assess the extent of the harm. At Proner & Proner our medical malpractice lawyers have helped clients throughout the nation achieve success with medical malpractice lawsuits, so contact our New York City offices today.
Medical Malpractice Statute of Limitations
Because the statute of limitations is often shorter for medical malpractice cases than for standard negligence, it is important not only that you seek legal aid as soon as possible if you think you are the victim of medical malpractice, but also that you file a lawsuit as quickly as possible. Choosing experienced medical malpractice lawyers can help ensure that you receive the compensation that you are entitled to in a timely fashion.
