Common Examples Of Incorrect Medical Treatment In New York
Medical errors take many forms across health care settings in New York. We investigate these incidents to determine if the provider failed you:
- Misdiagnosed conditions: Doctors may implement the wrong treatment protocols based on an incorrect assessment of your symptoms.
- Delayed treatment: A delayed diagnosis can cause a condition to progress beyond the point where medical intervention remains effective.
- Medication errors: This includes prescribing the wrong drugs or incorrect dosages that lead to adverse reactions or toxicity.
- Surgical mistakes: Errors include performing the wrong procedure or operating on the incorrect body site during an invasive surgery.
- Failure to diagnose: By missing a critical illness entirely, providers deny you the chance to receive any life-saving care.
- Inadequate aftercare: Failure to monitor patients post-operatively can lead to life-threatening complications or infections that doctors should have caught.
These failures often happen in an emergency room where fast-paced environments lead to oversight. We hold providers accountable when their lack of focus results in your injury.
What You Need To Prove In A Failure To Treat Case In New York
Proving malpractice requires a clear link between a provider’s actions and your injuries. New York law sets a high bar for these complex legal claims:
- Four elements of a malpractice claim: You must establish duty, a breach of that duty, causation and resulting damages.
- Statute of limitations: New York generally requires filing medical malpractice actions within two years and six months.
- Medical testimony: State law requires a licensed professional to testify that the care deviated from standard practice.
- Preserved evidence: Keep all medical records, discharge papers and summaries of your physical pain and suffering.
Our firm handles the investigative burden so you can focus on healing. We consult with medical professionals early to build a foundation for your case.
