Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice refers to professional
negligence by a healthcare professional who has
provided his or her patient with substandard
care, resulting in harm, injury or death. The
error or mistake may be the result of a lack of
necessary action (commonly referred to as an act
of omission) or a negligent act by the healthcare
professional.

Steps To Take If You Are the Victim of Medical
Malpractice

• Finding an experienced and reputable New York
  medical malpractice attorney who has successfully
  handled other cases similar in fact pattern as
  your case.
• Moving quickly because you only have a certain
  period of time (known as the statute of
  limitation) from when the injury occurred to file
  legal action. Each state has its own rules as to
  how long medical malpractice victims have to
  bring a claim and seek compensation.
• Requesting copies of all of your medical records.
• Keeping a journal of everything that happened
  while it is still fresh in your mind.
• Being honest and forthright with your attorney
  about all of the details surrounding your case.
