Medical Malpractice Law
Helping victims of medical and hospital negligence for more than half a century
The national death rate from medical error is 15 times higher than the national murder rate, according to the Fourth Annual Patient Safety in American Hospitals Study (2007). The Journal of the American Medical Association notes that death caused by medical malpractice has become the third leading cause of death in the United States, after heart disease and cancer. The number of injuries caused by medical and hospital negligence is staggering.

Prompt action may be required
The New York statute of limitations for medical malpractice lawsuits is two and one-half years from the date of medical error or injury. This means that, with certain limited exceptions, a lawsuit must be commenced within that time frame. Indeed, where the injury resulted in death, surviving relatives must file a wrongful death lawsuit within two years of the date of death. Clearly, then, it is important to obtain legal advice as promptly as possible.
