In some cases, though, a procedure will fail, or a plaintiff will suffer complications despite the fact that the defendant rendered competent care. In such instances, it is unlikely that the defendant will be deemed liable for medical malpractice. This was demonstrated recently in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nycourts.gov\/courts\/ad2\/Handdowns\/2022\/Decisions\/D70017.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">opinion<\/a> dismissing a plaintiff\u2019s medical malpractice case via summary judgment. If you were injured by a carelessly performed procedure, it is wise to talk to a Syracuse medical malpractice lawyer about your options for seeking damages.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>The Plaintiff\u2019s Care<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is reported that the plaintiff presented to the defendant for a hand surgery consultation after he injured his left pinky finger in a fall from his bicycle. The defendant examined the finger and noted that the joint was deformed. The plaintiff\u2019s record indicated that he had injured the same finger eight months earlier but had tried to pull the finger into place himself rather than seeking treatment. The defendant advised the plaintiff that the best treatment option was a closed reduction. The plaintiff consented to the procedure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is alleged that the defendant attempted to manipulate the joint into place on two different occasions without success. He then attempted to perform an open reduction and internal fixation, which also failed. The plaintiff then underwent another reduction which was performed by a different doctor, which was unsuccessful as well. The second doctor then fused the joint. The plaintiff subsequently filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against the defendant. The defendant moved for summary judgment, and the court granted the motion, after which the plaintiff appealed. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defranciscolaw.com\/blog\/new-york-court-discusses-proving-harm-arose-out-of-medical-malpractice\/#more-3440\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adverse outcomes following medical procedures are often the direct result of malpractice.
