Many Medical Practitioners Come into Play and Might be Liable

When it comes to receiving medical treatment, the equivalent of a “one-man shop”, is a rarity in modern medical practice

Any number or combination of medical professionals can cause injury in the course of treating you as a patient, whether through the practitioner’s ignorance, carelessness, greed, or some other factor.

When we investigate the cause of your injuries, we will do so with a wide lens, considering the roles and actions of all the following:

Pharmacists
Nursing staff
Imaging technicians
Pharmacists
Psychiatrists
Psychologists
Surgeons and surgical staff
Lab technicians
Anesthesiologists
Oral surgeons
Nurses
Dentists
Doctors

The entire range of medical professionals who had a hand in your treatment will fall under our lens of scrutiny. If we sense any chance of negligence, we will proceed to thoroughly investigate that party’s role in your treatment and injury. Our goal is to build a compelling case against every party that contributed to the cause of your injury.

Examples of the types of facilities we will explore are:

Clinics
Long-term care facilities and nursing homes
Urgent care facilities
Emergency centers
Hospitals
Surgery facilities
Imaging centers

If our research into your case yields evidence that points to one of these operations as being at fault for your injury, we will include it in the legal action we take on your behalf.

New York Law Limits the Time You Have to Pursue Legal Action for Your Case

New York’s statute of limitations limits the amount of time you have from the date that you sustained your medical malpractice injury to take legal action against the negligent parties. Additionally, the claim and litigation process have numerous other time deadlines that must be met. With everything occupying your mind in the aftermath of a medical malpractice injury, we suggest that you consult with one of our Uniondale medical malpractice lawyers to discuss how we can effectively handle your case for you.

Keep in mind that the sooner you hire legal counsel, the sooner your attorney will begin building your case with testimonies from witnesses who still have a clear recollection of the events that led to your injury.

With regard to the statute of limitations, other case time-deadlines and the best opportunity to discover and obtain potentially critical evidence, it is far better to act sooner than later. The sooner you contact us, the greater our opportunity to build the strongest possible case on your behalf.
