They must do so in a timely manner, however, or their claims may be barred by the statute of limitations. While the statutory period may be tolled in some situations, a plaintiff bears the burden of proving such tolling is proper. If they cannot, their claims may be dismissed, as shown in a recent ruling issued in a New York medical malpractice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nycourts.gov\/courts\/AD2\/Handdowns\/2021\/Decisions\/D67605.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">case<\/a>. If you were hurt due to negligently rendered medical care, you might be owed damages, and you should confer with a Syracuse medical malpractice lawyer as soon as possible to avoid waiving your right to recover compensation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Plaintiff\u2019s Claims<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Allegedly, in 2013, the plaintiff suffered injuries in a fall at a restaurant. She was then transported by ambulance to the defendant hospital, where she was treated by the defendant nurse and other parties. She presumably suffered harm due to the care she received from the defendant\u2019s employees, as in 2015, she filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against the defendants. She ultimately discontinued her claims via stipulation with a reservation of her rights under CPLR 205(a).<\/p>\n<p>It is reported that in 2017, she then commenced a lawsuit against the defendants, apparently pursuant to the six month extension of the statute of limitations under CPLR 205(a). The defendants moved to dismiss the claims against them as time barred. The court ultimately granted the defendant\u2019s motion. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defranciscolaw.com\/blog\/court-discusses-the-tolling-of-the-statute-of-limitations-in-new-york-medical-malpractice-cases\/#more-3295\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People harmed by reckless health care providers have the right to seek compensation for their losses.
