Protecting Victims of Medical Negligence Throughout New York

Medical professionals are expected to provide care that meets high standards. But when doctors, nurses, or hospitals act carelessly—or fail to act when necessary—patients can suffer serious or even fatal harm.

At Hurt Legally PC, our Brooklyn medical malpractice lawyers fight for individuals and families who have been harmed by negligent healthcare providers. If you or a loved one has suffered due to a medical mistake, we are here to help you pursue the justice and compensation you deserve.

What Is Medical Malpractice?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider delivers treatment that falls below the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury, illness, or death. This could involve:

A misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
Surgical errors
Incorrect medication or dosage
Birth injuries
Failure to monitor or respond to complications
Infections due to poor post-operative care
Misreading diagnostic tests

In short, if another competent healthcare provider would have acted differently under the same circumstances, you may have a valid malpractice claim.

Do You Have a Medical Malpractice Case?

To file a successful medical malpractice lawsuit in New York, your case must meet four legal elements:

Doctor–Patient Relationship
You must show that the healthcare provider had a duty of care to treat you.
Breach of Standard of Care
The provider must have failed to deliver care consistent with what a reasonably skilled medical professional would have provided.
Causation
You must prove that the provider’s negligence directly caused your injury or worsened your condition.
Damages
Your injury must have led to measurable harm—such as physical pain, medical expenses, lost wages, or emotional distress.

If these apply to your situation, you may have a valid malpractice claim.

Common Types of Medical Malpractice Cases We Handle

At Hurt Legally PC, we represent clients in all types of medical malpractice claims, including:

• Misdiagnosis or Delayed Diagnosis

Failing to detect or properly diagnose serious conditions (like cancer or infections) can allow illness to progress unchecked, resulting in avoidable harm.

• Surgical Errors

Wrong-site surgery, leaving tools inside the patient, or operating without informed consent are serious breaches of safety protocols.

• Birth Injuries

Mistakes during pregnancy or childbirth can result in long-term or permanent damage to the child or mother, including cerebral palsy or brachial plexus injuries.

• Medication Errors

Incorrect prescriptions, dosages, or interactions can lead to life-threatening reactions or complications.

• Anesthesia Mistakes

Incorrect administration or monitoring of anesthesia can cause brain injury, stroke, or death.

• Hospital Negligence

Poor sanitation, understaffing, or failure to follow protocols can contribute to infections, falls, or medical oversight.

• Emergency Room Errors

In fast-paced ER environments, rushed or missed diagnoses can result in life-threatening mistakes.

• Post-Surgical Complications

Failure to monitor a patient after surgery may lead to infection, blood clots, or sepsis.

Wrongful Death from Medical Negligence

If you lost a loved one due to medical errors, we can pursue a wrongful death claim on your family’s behalf. Compensation may include:

Funeral and burial costs
Medical bills incurred before death
Loss of financial support
Loss of companionship or parental guidance
Pain and suffering endured by your loved one

Let us handle the legal process while you focus on grieving and healing.

How We Prove Medical Malpractice

Our attorneys work with leading medical experts to review records, evaluate care decisions, and determine if malpractice occurred. We investigate whether:

Proper procedures and protocols were followed
Your provider had the necessary qualifications
Medications and vitals were appropriately monitored
The facility maintained safe and sanitary conditions

Every detail matters—and we dig deep to build a strong, evidence-based case on your behalf.

How Much Time Do You Have to File?

In New York, medical malpractice claims must generally be filed within 2 years and 6 months from the date of the alleged negligence. In some cases (such as foreign objects left in the body), the clock may start at the time of discovery.

If your case involves a municipal hospital or public health institution, you must file a Notice of Claim within 90 days of the incident.

Act quickly—delays can prevent you from pursuing compensation entirely.

Compensation in Medical Malpractice Cases

Depending on your case, you may be entitled to compensation for:

Medical expenses (current and future)
Lost wages or future earning potential
Pain and suffering
Loss of quality of life
Permanent disability or disfigurement
Emotional distress
Wrongful death damages (if applicable)

There is no "standard" malpractice settlement—it depends on the severity of your injury and the impact on your life. We work hard to ensure you’re fully compensated.
