In New York, Medical malpractice happens when a doctor, nurse, surgeon, anesthesiologist, or other medical professional performs an error that has an adverse effect on the health of the patient. For medical malpractice to qualify, the actions must have deviated considerably from professionally recognized standards.
Malpractices claims are notoriously tough to prove, and the burden of proof lies with the patient when they file a lawsuit against said medical professional. In NY, the medical malpractice statute of limitations typically allows victims 2.5 years, or 30 months, from the onset of the injury to file a malpractice claim, however, there can be a number of exceptions to this rule and/or time frame.
