Do I Have a Medical Malpractice Case?

Knowledgeable assistance from malpractice lawyers in New York

Medical malpractice lawsuits are far more complicated than other personal injury claims because not all instances of wrongdoing on a medical professional's part constitute malpractice. Malpractice can only be claimed when you can show that your healthcare providers failed to meet the standard of care their peers would be expected to provide to patients with your same medical conditions or symptoms, that their failure to meet this standard caused you harm, and that your injury or worsened medical condition is a direct result of the healthcare providers' negligence. Proving this requires concrete evidence and a persuasive team willing to aggressively defend your rights.

The role of a skilled attorney in a medical malpractice case

Determining whether you have a medical malpractice case is an assessment best made by an attorney with specific experience handling malpractice claims. Not all lawyers know the nuances of medical malpractice cases. It is critical to hire an attorney who does if you wish to receive a fair settlement or verdict. At Neimark & Neimark, our New York malpractice attorneys have the experience necessary to evaluate your injuries and advise you on whether pursuing a medical malpractice case is in your best interests. We have been handling medical malpractice claims for clients since 1976 and are well equipped to counter the arguments insurance companies and opposing counsel use to lessen the compensation medical malpractice victims receive.

The role of the expert witness in a medical malpractice case

New York law requires the testimony of an expert witness in any medical malpractice lawsuit. In medical malpractice cases, expert witnesses are doctors or professionals who have in-depth understanding of the medical issue at hand as well as the typical standard of care exercised by other practitioners. If an expert witness agrees to testify the defendant acted wrongly and consequently caused you harm, our attorneys can use their opinion as a basis for building a sound case against the defendant.
