New York City is home to some of the most prestigious hospitals in the world — but size and prestige do not prevent medical errors. Misdiagnoses, surgical mistakes, birth injuries, medication errors, and failures to treat are documented annually across all five boroughs.
Filing a malpractice claim in New York requires navigating strict procedural rules, including the Certificate of Merit requirement and New York's statute of limitations. The continuous treatment doctrine may toll (pause) the clock if treatment for the same condition was ongoing.
Cases filed within New York City are typically heard in Supreme Court — the trial-level court in New York State — in the borough where the malpractice occurred. This means venue, local court rules, and jury pools differ by borough, which can affect case strategy.
We review medical records, consult with independent medical experts, and assess the four core elements of a malpractice claim: duty, breach of the standard of care, causation, and damages. Our evaluation is confidential and carries no obligation.
Cases we frequently evaluate include hospital-acquired infections, delayed cancer diagnoses, birth complications, anesthesia errors, ER negligence, nursing failures, and injuries from defective medical devices or dangerous drugs.
If you were harmed by a medical provider anywhere in NYC, tell us what happened. We'll evaluate your case at no cost or obligation.
