Filing a Medical Malpractice Claim
In order to collect damages for an incident of medical malpractice, you must first file a claim against the doctor or medical facility. Under New York State laws, you only have 30 months from the date of the incident to pursue a lawsuit. The only exception to this is in the case that you did not discover the illness or injury until the 30 months had already passed. In this case, the individual has one year from the date of discovery to pursue compensation.
The legal process can be difficult, complicated, and you may find that you are greatly opposed in your endeavors. For this reason it is essential for you to speak with a knowledgeable Nassau County medical malpractice attorney from the Law Offices of Charles R. Gueli when experiencing issues of malpractice.
