Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional, such as a doctor, nurse, or hospital, fails to provide proper medical care, resulting in harm or injury to a patient. In New York, medical malpractice is a complex area of law with specific rules and procedures.
To bring a medical malpractice claim in New York, you must be able to show that the healthcare professional or facility failed to provide a reasonable standard of care and that this failure caused your injuries or damages. You must also be able to show that the injuries or damages were the result of the healthcare professional's or facility's negligence, and not a result of an underlying medical condition or other cause.
Under New York law, there are specific requirements for bringing a medical malpractice claim. For example, you must provide written notice to the healthcare professional or facility at least 90 days before filing a lawsuit. You must also obtain a certificate of merit from a qualified medical expert, which states that there is a reasonable basis for the claim.
