New York Personal Injury Lawyers Available to Review Medical Error Claims

The New York personal injury lawyers at Block O’Toole & Murphy are available to review claims from patients who suspect they were injured due to a medical error. While not every complication constitutes medical malpractice, patients who were injured due to the negligence of a doctor or hospital may have legal recourse. To find out if you may be eligible for a medical malpractice lawsuit, visit http://www.blockotoole.com/medical-malpractice.html for a free case review, offered courtesy of the New York personal injury attorneys at the firm.  

A New York personal injury lawsuit may be possible for patients who were injured when their doctor or other medical professional failed to meet the standard of care expected in the healthcare community. In general, doctors, surgeons, nurses and other professionals are required to provide their patients with a certain level of care so as to prevent harm. When they fail to meet this standard, and a patient is injured as a result, they may be liable under New York personal injury law. For instance, a doctor may be held accountable for any injuries resulting from a failure to diagnose cancer if he or she neglected to order a diagnostic test that another medical professional would have required in a similar situation.
 
If you received a misdiagnosis or were otherwise injured due to a medical mistake, a New York personal injury attorney will be able to determine whether you have legal recourse. Potentially, a New York personal injury lawsuit could provide patients who were injured due to medical negligence with compensation for hospital bills, pain and suffering and other damages.
