What Is Considered Medical Malpractice?

According to the American Board of Professional Liability Attorneys (ABPLA), medical malpractice is defined as negligence that “occurs when a hospital, doctor or other health care professional, through a negligent act or omission, causes an injury to a patient. The negligence might be the result of errors in diagnosis, treatment, aftercare or health management.” A medical malpractice claim must have the following errors to be considered negligence:

The injury was caused by negligence – The patient must prove that they sustained an injury that wouldn’t have happened in the absence of a negligent physician.
The injury resulted in significant damages – The patient must prove that significant damages were a direct result of an injury received due to the medical negligence.
The standard of car was violated – Physicians are held to certain medical standards with accepted medical treatment by reasonably prudent doctors. A patient has the right to expect that the physician will deliver that care, and if they are able to prove that it was not met, they may be able to establish negligence.

What Are The Medical Malpractice Statutes Of Limitations?

In every state, there is a time limit that is established in which an individual is able to file a claim for negligence. In the state of New York, the statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims states that you have up to three years from the date of the injury to file a claim, or your case will not be heard.
