Understanding the New York State Medical Malpractice Laws
Do you suspect that you or your loved one was the victim of medical malpractice at New York Columbia Presbyterian Hospital? Your claim is subject to New York law. Here are some key points to understand about medical malpractice laws in the state:
- Standard of Liability: A poor outcome from professional medical care is not automatically malpractice. You must prove that a doctor-patient relationship was formed and that the provider was negligent in providing care.
- 30-Month Statute of Limitations: There is a 30 month (2.5 year) statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims in New York State. It starts on the date that the harm was discovered or should have reasonably been discovered.
- Certificate of Merit Required: Before you can bring a medical malpractice lawsuit, New York requires a certificate of merit. Most often, this is obtained by getting support from a licensed, qualified medical expert.
