Frequently Asked Questions
What should I bring to my free consultation?
Bring any documents related to your case: medical records, hospital discharge papers, accident reports, photographs, insurance correspondence, and names of healthcare providers or other parties involved. If you don’t have these documents yet, we can help obtain them. Don’t let missing paperwork stop you from calling.
How much will the personal injury and medical malpractice cost?
We handle personal injury cases and medical malpractice cases on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. Case costs (expert testimony, medical records, court fees) are typically advanced by our firm and deducted from any recovery. You risk nothing by contacting us.
Is there a time limit to file my case?
Yes, and deadlines are strict:
- Medical malpractice in New York: 2 years and 6 months from the negligent act or end of continuous treatment
- Cancer misdiagnosis (Lavern’s Law): Discovery rule applies, with 7-year outer limit
- General personal injury: 3 years in most cases
- Claims against government entities: Notice of Claim required within 90 days
- Wrongful death: 2 years from the date of death
Missing these deadlines can permanently bar your claim. Contact us immediately to protect your rights.
How long will my New York medical malpractice case take?
Timelines vary significantly based on case complexity, severity of injuries, and whether settlement negotiations succeed. Medical malpractice cases require extensive expert consultation and often take longer than typical personal injury cases. Some cases resolve within months; others take years, particularly if a trial becomes necessary. We’ll provide realistic timeline expectations during your consultation.
Do I need a local medical malpractice lawyer?
Working with New York personal injury lawyers and New York medical malpractice lawyers who understand local courts, judges, and legal procedures provides significant advantages. Medical malpractice litigation in particular requires familiarity with New York law requirements, including Certificate of Merit filings and procedural nuances. Our firm’s decades of experience in New York courts translates directly to better outcomes for clients.
How do I know if I have a medical malpractice case?
Medical malpractice requires proving four elements: (1) a healthcare provider owed you a duty of care, (2) they breached the standard of care, (3) that breach caused your injury, and (4) you suffered measurable damages. Establishing breach of standard requires expert testimony, another reason to work with experienced medical malpractice attorneys who maintain relationships with qualified medical experts across specialties.

Call 212-967-8202 for your free consultation.
