Medical Malpractice Attorney in Queens

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional or facility provides substandard care that leads to harm or injury to a patient. It involves a breach of the standard of care that other professionals would reasonably provide in similar circumstances.

Medical malpractice occurs in different ways and that’s why we treat each case with the individuality it requires. Some common examples include:

• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
• Surgical errors
• Medication mistakes
• Birth injuries
• Anesthesia errors
• Failure to treat
• Hospital-acquired infections
• Lack of informed consent
• Premature discharge
• Improper follow-up care

In a medical malpractice case, you may be able to hold multiple parties liable depending on the circumstances. Commonly, the primary healthcare providers like doctors and nurses are usually the first professional to carry to blame, but liability can extend to other areas, including:

• Surgeons
• Anesthesiologists
• Pharmacists
• Hospitals
• Clinics
• Medical laboratories
• Radiologists
• Medical device manufacturers

When pursuing a medical malpractice claim you must establish four key elements. First, there’s the duty of care, which means that the healthcare provider owed you a responsibility to act in accordance with the standard of care expected in their profession.  

Next, you need to prove a breach of this duty of care, which occurs when the healthcare provider fails to meet the standard of care.

Thirdly, you must demonstrate that you suffered harm or injury as a direct result of the healthcare provider’s breach of duty. 

Lastly, you must show the specific losses you’ve incurred because of the malpractice.
