MEDICAL MALPRACTICE

MEDICAL MALPRACTICE LAW ATTORNEYS IN GARDEN CITY, NEW YORK

Additionally, we have experience handling cases involving faulty cancer diagnosis, obstetrical malpractice, wrongful death, surgical malpractice, pediatric malpractice, cosmetic surgery, psychiatric malpractice.

Unlike almost all other litigations, before you can initiate a medical malpractice action, the relevant medical records must be reviewed by a duly licensed physician who can attest to the fact that there is a reasonable basis to believe a valid claim exist against the defendant.  The Affidavit of Merit required in lawsuits against physicians reflect the significant power of the medical lobby in our legislative process.  Claims based on malpractice generally must be initiated within two and one-half years of the complaint of conduct.  On occasion, that time frame can be extended by a doctrine known as continuous treatment.  In cases involving wrongful death, the claim must be initiated within two years of the decedent's death.
