What to Know About New York State Medical Malpractice Law
Were you or your loved one the victim of medical malpractice at Jerome Health or any of its associated physicians? You may be entitled to compensation. Here are key points to understand about New York’s medical malpractice laws:
- Standard of Liability: A bad outcome for a patient is not always medical malpractice. You must prove that harm occurred because of negligence (substandard care).
- 30-Month Statute of Limitations: There is a 2.5 year statute of limitations for medical malpractice lawsuits in New York. It starts running on the date of the incident or the date that the patient’s harm was/should have been discovered—whichever comes second.
- Certificate of Merit Required: You will need to obtain a certificate of merit as a procedural requirement to bring a claim. In effect, it is a document from a licensed medical expert that states your claim is reasonable based on a preliminary review.
- No Cap On Damages: There is no state mandated cap on medical malpractice damages. You can seek compensation for the full value of your losses, including medical bills, income loss, pain and suffering, and long-term disability.
