What to Do If You Suspect Medical Malpractice
If you think you’ve been a victim of medical malpractice, it’s important to act promptly. Start by collecting any relevant medical records and notes about your symptoms. It’s also a good idea to get a second opinion from another healthcare provider. Contacting a skilled attorney early can help you understand your legal options and start building a strong case. Our team is here to help you assess your situation and take the necessary steps to pursue a claim.
Understanding Medical Malpractice Laws in New York
New York’s medical malpractice laws are designed to protect patients from inadequate care. To file a successful claim, you need to show that the healthcare provider’s actions fell below the standard of care expected and that this directly resulted in harm to you. This involves demonstrating that the provider’s negligence caused injury and that you suffered damages as a result. Our attorneys are adept at navigating these legal requirements and are here to guide you through the process.
Common Types of Medical Malpractice Claims

Each type of malpractice case presents unique challenges and requires specific evidence to support your claim. At Nicholas Perot Smith Bernhardt & Zosh, we handle a wide range of medical malpractice cases, using our expertise to address each situation effectively and advocate for your rights.
Statute of Limitations for Medical Malpractice in New York
