What Counts as Medical Malpractice?

Not every bad result is malpractice. Medicine has risks, and sometimes things go wrong even when doctors do everything right. Malpractice happens when a doctor, nurse, or hospital does something a careful medical professional would not have done — and you get hurt because of it. Common examples: a misdiagnosis or late diagnosis of cancer, a heart attack, or a stroke; surgical errors, like operating on the wrong place or leaving something inside; medication mistakes; and birth injuries that hurt a baby or mother during delivery.

Here is the part you cannot wait on: in New York, most medical malpractice cases must be filed within 2 years and 6 months — shorter than the 3 years for most other injury cases. Cases against city-run hospitals have even tighter deadlines. Medical records take time to collect and review, so the earlier you call, the stronger your case can be. The consultation is free, and we will tell you honestly whether we think you have a case.

What to Do

If You Suspect a Medical Mistake

  • Get the medical care you need first. Your health comes before everything.
  • Request a full copy of your medical records. You have a legal right to them.
  • Write down what happened while it is fresh: dates, names, what you were told.
  • Do not sign anything from the hospital or its insurance company before talking to a lawyer.
  • Call us early. The 2.5-year deadline is shorter than most people expect.

Common Questions

How do I know if what happened to me was malpractice?
You usually cannot know on your own, and that is normal. We review your medical records with medical experts who can tell whether the care fell below the standard. The review costs you nothing, and we tell you the truth about what we find.
How long do I have to file a medical malpractice case in New York?
Generally 2 years and 6 months from the mistake, with some exceptions — for example, cases involving a missed cancer diagnosis or an object left in the body, and cases against public hospitals, follow different rules. Call us so we can check your exact deadline.
Can I afford a malpractice lawyer?
Yes. We work on contingency: no fee unless you win. We also advance the costs of investigating the case, including the medical experts.
