Have You or a Loved One Suffered a Birth Injury in New York?
The First Thing You Should Do — Before Calling a Lawyer
If you suspect that a birth injury has occurred due to medical negligence, it’s crucial to take immediate action. Before you even think about reaching out to a lawyer, consider obtaining a thorough audit of your medical records. This can provide clarity and insight into what transpired during your care. Understanding the details of your situation can empower you as you navigate the next steps in seeking justice for you and your family.

New York Law — No Cap on Damages + Your Time Limits
One of the most significant advantages of pursuing a malpractice case in New York is that there are no caps on non-economic damages. This means that victims of medical negligence can potentially recover full compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life, among other damages. This is crucial for families impacted by birth injuries, as these conditions can lead to lifelong challenges and expenses.
However, it is essential to be aware of the time limits that apply to malpractice claims in New York. According to NY CPLR §214-a, you have 2.5 years from the date of the incident to file a lawsuit. This deadline is critical, as failing to file within this timeframe can result in losing your right to seek compensation. Key precedents, such as the Diaz v. NYU Langone case (2023), where a malpractice claim resulted in a $2.1 million settlement, and Torres v. NYC Health + Hospitals (2022), which awarded $5.4 million for a birth injury, highlight the potential for significant recovery in successful cases. Understanding these laws and time limits can make a substantial difference in your pursuit of justice.
How to Find a Malpractice Attorney in New York After the Audit
Once you have a clear understanding of your medical records through an audit, the next step is to find a qualified malpractice attorney in New York. Look for attorneys who specialize in medical malpractice and have a track record of success in cases similar to yours. Reach out for consultations to discuss your situation and the findings from your audit. This will help you gauge their expertise and approach to your case. Remember, the right attorney will advocate for your rights and guide you through the complexities of the legal process.
