How Do I Prove My Injury Was Due to Medical Malpractice?
Medical malpractice can be difficult to prove. You’ll have to show how the medical provider willingly or negligently caused your injury and have the evidence to support your claim. As mentioned above, the lawsuit process usually involves medical experts reviewing your records and conducting a physical examination.
In general, you must prove your case meets the following criteria
- There was a doctor-patient relationship
- There was some type of negligence
- The negligence resulted in injury or death
- The injury resulted in damages
How Long Do I Have to Sue for Medical Malpractice?
According to New York’s statute of limitations, you have two years and six months, or 30 months total, to file a medical malpractice lawsuit.
That said, you might have additional time if your medical injury isn’t noticeable right away. For example, if years pass before finding a surgical instrument in your abdomen, you have one year from the date the foreign object was discovered to bring a claim.
Minor children are exempt from the statute of limitations.
