UNDERSTANDING YOUR LEGAL OPTIONS

As a victim of medical negligence you have several choices:

• File a medical misconduct complaint with the New York State Department of Health (OPMC);
• Get an opinion from an experienced New York Medical Malpractice Attorney. Make sure you are not paying up front for this service which can be found for free; and
• Obtain a copy of your medial records from your medical provider and have your medical care reviewed by another medical specialist.

KEY POINTS TO CONSIDER

• Filing your own "pro se" lawsuit is complicated. You will find that most physicians are uninterested in getting involved in a claim against another doctor. You probably will have trouble finding a doctor to review your case without the help of an attorney;
• Expert medical reviews can be very expensive if you go it alone;
• Select an experienced medical malpractice attorney as they can guide you as to the merit's of your case and locate a doctor to review your case; and
• Remember under New York State Law all the Medical Malpractice Attorneys usually charge the same fee set by the Court, so take your time and select a knowledgeable lawyer for your specific medical claim; and
• Be careful not to delay past the Statute of Limitations time limits or you will be out.

WHEN TO DO SOMETHING

• Statute of Limitations are tricky and complex.
• Medical malpractice claims normally have a 2 ½ year time limit to file a legal claim and wrongful death claims are limited to 2 years. Beware, public hospitals in New York all require that claims for medical malpractice be filed properly within 90 days. So act quickly or you will be out of luck.
