Have You Experienced Negligence in Your Medical Care?
The First Thing You Should Do — Before Calling a Lawyer
When you suspect medical malpractice, the emotional turmoil can be overwhelming. The first step is to gain clarity about your situation. Before reaching out to a lawyer, consider having your medical records audited. This audit can provide valuable insights into your case, helping you understand whether negligence played a role in your care. A thorough examination of your records can uncover critical details that may be essential for your claim.

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 a victim of negligence, you can claim compensation for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life without a limit. In recent cases such as Diaz v. NYU Langone (2023), where the plaintiff was awarded $2.1 million for malpractice, and Torres v. NYC Health + Hospitals (2022), where the award was $5.4 million for a birth injury, we see the potential for large settlements in New York’s legal landscape.
However, it’s crucial to be aware of the statute of limitations for filing a medical malpractice claim in New York, which is typically 2.5 years from the date of the incident. Missing this deadline can jeopardize your chances of receiving compensation. Make sure you act promptly to protect your rights.
How to Find a Malpractice Attorney in New York After the Audit
Once you have your audit results, finding a competent malpractice attorney in New York becomes much easier. Look for an attorney who specializes in medical malpractice cases and has a proven track record. Ask questions about their experience, success rates, and how they plan to approach your case. A good attorney will be eager to discuss the findings from your audit and how they can help you maximize your compensation, especially in a state that offers no cap on non-economic damages.
