Have You Suffered Due to Inadequate Medical Consent in New York?
The First Thing You Should Do — Before Calling a Lawyer
Realizing that your healthcare provider may have failed in their duty to obtain informed consent can be overwhelming. You may feel helpless and uncertain about your next steps. The good news is that you are not alone. Many patients find themselves in similar situations, and understanding your rights is the first step to seeking justice.
Before you think about contacting a legal professional, it’s essential to gather your medical records. This documentation is crucial for any potential claims you may want to pursue. Having all relevant information at your fingertips will empower you as you navigate your options.

New York Law — No Cap on Damages + Your Time Limits
Understanding New York malpractice law is crucial for anyone considering a legal claim. A significant advantage for patients in New York is that there is no cap on non-economic damages. This means that if you have suffered due to inadequate informed consent or any other form of malpractice, you could potentially recover substantial compensation for your pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
According to NY CPLR §214-a, you have 2.5 years from the date of the malpractice to file a lawsuit. However, this timeline can be complex, and certain circumstances can affect your eligibility to file a claim. For instance, the precedent set in cases like Diaz v. NYU Langone (2023), which resulted in a $2.1 million award for malpractice, and Torres v. NYC Health + Hospitals (2022), which resulted in a $5.4 million award for a birth injury, illustrates the potential for significant compensation in malpractice cases.
How to Find a Malpractice Attorney in New York After the Audit

Finding the right malpractice attorney in New York is essential for building a strong case. Look for attorneys who specialize in medical malpractice and have a track record of success in cases like yours.

Many attorneys offer free consultations, allowing you to discuss your case without any financial commitment. This is an excellent opportunity to ask questions and find out how they can help you pursue justice for the harm you’ve suffered.
Frequently Asked Questions
What constitutes informed consent?
Informed consent requires that patients be fully informed about the risks, benefits, and alternatives of a medical procedure or treatment before they agree to it. If you believe you were not adequately informed, it may be a case of malpractice.
How can I prove a lack of informed consent?
Proving a lack of informed consent typically requires demonstrating that the healthcare provider failed to provide information that a reasonable provider would have shared in similar circumstances. An audit from Galex AI can help identify these gaps.
What should I do if I missed the 2.5-year deadline?
In some cases, you may still have options if you missed the deadline due to extenuating circumstances. Consulting with a knowledgeable malpractice attorney can provide clarity on your situation.
