New York Law — No Cap on Damages + Your Time Limits
One of the most significant advantages of pursuing a medical malpractice case in New York is that there is no cap on non-economic damages. This means that if you are awarded compensation, you could receive a substantial amount for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life, in addition to economic damages like medical bills and lost wages.
Recent cases exemplify the potential for significant awards, including:
- Diaz v. NYU Langone (2023): A malpractice case that resulted in a $2.1 million award.
- Torres v. NYC Health + Hospitals (2022): A birth injury case that resulted in a $5.4 million award.
However, it is crucial to act swiftly, as New York law imposes a 2.5-year statute of limitations (CPLR § 214-a) for filing a medical malpractice claim. This means you have a limited window to pursue your case, and understanding this timeframe is vital to ensure that your rights are protected.
How to Find a Malpractice Attorney in New York After the Audit
Once you have completed the audit of your medical records and have a clearer understanding of your case, the next step is to find a qualified malpractice attorney in New York. Here are some tips to guide you:
- Look for Experience: Choose an attorney who specializes in medical malpractice cases and has a proven track record of successful outcomes.
- Check Reviews and Testimonials: Research online reviews and testimonials to gauge the attorney’s reputation and the experiences of past clients.
- Schedule a Consultation: Most attorneys will offer a free initial consultation. Use this opportunity to discuss your case and assess whether you feel comfortable with their approach.
- Ask About Fees: Understand the attorney’s fee structure and how they handle payment. Many work on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case.
Finding the right attorney is crucial in ensuring that your case is handled effectively and that you receive the compensation you deserve.
