Frequently Asked Questions
What is the statute of limitations for medical malpractice in New York?
In New York, you generally have 30 months from the date of the malpractice or from the end of continuous treatment to file a lawsuit. For cases involving a foreign object left in the body, you have one year from discovery. Minors have until their 20th birthday to file.
What damages can I recover in a Central Islip malpractice case?
You can seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. New York does not cap non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases, but there are limits on punitive damages and strict rules for structured settlements.
Do I need a certificate of merit to file a malpractice lawsuit in New York?
Yes. New York law requires your attorney to file a certificate of merit within 90 days of starting the lawsuit. This document must state that a qualified medical professional has reviewed the case and found it has merit. Without it, the court may dismiss the case.
