Medical Negligence

Medical professionals are aware of certain standards of conduct that must be met in order to ensure the safety of patients. If a doctor fails to adhere to these standards, he can be found medically negligent in New York and anywhere else in the country. The following incidents are examples of medical negligence:

» Failure to diagnose or disclose a diagnosis
» Improper diagnosis
» Prescription/medication errors
» Surgical errors
» Surgical instruments left inside patient after surgery
» Lack of informed consent and/or abandonment

Informed Consent of Medical Care

A patient should be informed of not only the types of treatment he/she will receive, but also of the potential dangers associated with the medical care. In cases where this right is not honored, a person may unwittingly consent to risky procedures and controversial medications. When healthcare professional(s) fail to meet the informed consent obligation, they can be charged with medical malpractice.

Medical Malpractice Damages

Before any compensation is awarded in a medical malpractice case, there must be ample evidence that medical negligence is actually to blame for an injury or death. Patients must consider the following when assessing their medical malpractice cases against their healthcare providers.

» What is the standard of care for the defendant's profession, as well as his/her    specialty within that line of work?
» Did the defendant commit a "breach" of the standard of care by failing to meet the    established standard?
» Was this negligence a "proximate cause" of the injury? In other words, did the    negligence contribute to an injury that otherwise may not have been sustained?
