New York Medical Malpractice Attorney
Malpractice is not an uncommon event in New York or in the United States. It is estimated that between 44,000 to 98,000 Americans die annually as a result of medical errors that were preventable. However, while errors in the health care industry are prevalent, what is not uncommon in this country is that those responsible for these mistakes are not being held accountable for their actions. In a study by Harvard University, only 1 out of 8 preventable errors done in a hospital resulted in a law suit. Those who do decide to sue, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, 65.7% of them were awarded over $250,000 and 29.4% were awarded $1 million or more.

Health care professionals such as doctors, pharmacists, and nurses spend years of their lives studying medicine and the human anatomy. As a result of the knowledge they have acquired, we depend on our health care professionals to make the right decision for us. Many times, we don't even think twice about the advice our doctors give us. Unfortunately for some people, their blind faith in those they trusted with their health had lead them to serious health consequences including death. When this occurs, it is often classified as medical malpractice if it can be proven that a medical professional either deviated from standard procedures or made an error which under normal circumstances should not have been made. In many cases, it is not always easy to know if malpractice occurred, that is why it is essential to consult an attorney who has experience in medical malpractice law as soon as possible since there are strict statutes of limitations in New York State which must be followed.
