Have You Been the Victim of Medical Malpractice in New York City?

By Abraham Jaros | Published on September 28, 2011 | 0 Comments

You trust your NYC doctors and prescribed medications to help you deal with any conditions or injuries, so the thought that they might have caused you or a loved one more harm than good can be a frightening one. Suddenly you may feel uncertain of who you can trust, and where to turn to with your concerns. If you suspect something is wrong, and seem unable to get a straight answer from your doctor or health professional, it’s time to contact a New York City medical malpractice lawyer.

Only a skilled and experienced New York City medical malpractice lawyer has the comprehensive understanding of this legal area, an understanding that is needed to help protect your rights and fight for the compensation you may be entitled to. The healthcare industry is large and complex, and a deep understanding of medical malpractice law is required to effectively fight a case and navigate through the system.

“Medical malpractice is an area we specialize in. We’ve been fighting these cases for over three decades,” says Abraham Jaros, co-partner of Jaroslawicz and Jaros, a well-established NYC law firm focused on personal injury and medical malpractice cases. “I won the first $1 million plus medical malpractice settlement in Sullivan County back in 1984, and a $2 million settlement in Albany. We understand what it takes to prove a case, and how to fight it.”

If you suspect you’ve been the victim of medical malpractice, it’s important to find all records relating to your potential case, and keep detailed notes about any interactions with your doctor or health insurance company, as well as notes about the condition or injury you’re suffering from. These notes and records will help you present your situation to your New York City medical malpractice lawyer during your first meeting.

But while keeping detailed notes and records is helpful in getting your attorney up to speed, in order to fully asses your case, an attorney will need to review all of your medical records and records on the case or doctor. Obtaining these records can be costly, which is one reason why it’s important to choose a New York City medical malpractice lawyer with ample resources.

“It could cost thousands of dollars just to get the full records. A reputable and legitimate attorney will not charge you to obtain and review your records, if they believe you might have a case,” says Jaros.

Choosing a New York City medical malpractice lawyer with the funds needed to fully pursue and fight for your case will also prove helpful at trial, where hiring expensive medical and research experts can make all the difference in the outcome of your case.

“With expert testimony and the extensive research needed to powerfully fight a case, the cost could be easily over hundred thousand dollars. You need a firm or attorney that has the resources ready, one that’s not going to let an opportunity to prove your case pass by because they can’t afford it,” says Jaros.
