The LoCascio Law Firm handles a variety of medical malpractice actions in New York state. Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider, such as a doctor, nurse, hospital, or other medical professional, deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm to the patient. 

Victims of medical malpractice may suffer lasting physical, emotional, and financial impacts. These can include extensive medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term disability. Medical malpractice is often complex and challenging to navigate and often requires an experienced law firm with substantial resources dedicated to the field. 

What Does a Medical Malpractice Attorney Do?

There are several layers to a medical malpractice action. As such, a skilled and dedicated medical malpractice attorney is necessary to successfully advocate for those who have been harmed by the negligence of healthcare providers. Most medical malpractice actions require the following steps:

1. A Thorough Case Investigation: A thorough investigation of your case is essential to determine whether malpractice occurred. Our legal team will gather medical records, consult with experts, and review all of the evidence to determine the nature of the malpractice and strength of the potential case.

2. Building a Strong Malpractice Action: Once we determine that medical negligence occurred, we will consult with other medical professionals and obtain the necessary experts to support your case. Our attorneys will work to prove that the healthcare professional’s actions deviated from accepted standards, which directly resulted in your injury or harm. 

3. Negotiating for Compensation: Medical malpractice cases often involve high medical costs and financial distress. We fight for fair compensation to cover your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. We’ll work tirelessly to ensure you receive the full amount of compensation you deserve.

4. Representation in Court: If negotiations do not lead to a fair settlement, we will file suit and commence a medical malpractice action. Our experienced litigators will represent you throughout the case, keeping you informed step-by-step at every stage until trial.

Types of Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice can take many forms, including, but not limited to:

• Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis: Failing to diagnose a condition correctly or promptly can cause significant injury, lead to numerous complications, and result in worsening of the patient’s condition. This type of malpractice requires extensive investigation to prove, but is one of the most common types of medical malpractice. 

• Surgical Errors: Surgical errors take many forms and may include general mistakes made during surgery, incorrect surgical procedures, instruments left inside one’s body, errors involving anesthesia, and so on.
