Recently, in a New York ruling delivered in a medical malpractice case, the <a href=\"https:\/\/decisions.courts.state.ny.us\/ad3\/Decisions\/2024\/535997.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">court<\/a> clarified what evidence is needed to demonstrate a breach of the standard of care.

Over the following weeks, the plaintiff experienced increasing symptoms, leading to a diagnosis of complex regional pain syndrome by the second defendant, another orthopedic surgeon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is reported that in July 2019, the plaintiff commenced a medical malpractice case against the defendants, along with an orthopedic surgeon and physician assistant. The lawsuit alleged failure to obtain informed consent, negligence, and medical malpractice. The defendants moved for summary judgment; the court denied their motion, and they appealed. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defranciscolaw.com\/blog\/new-york-court-discusses-the-standard-of-care-in-medical-malpractice-cases\/#more-3612\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is not uncommon for people who suffer fractures to undergo care with multiple providers; if they subsequently suffer complications, each provider may ultimately be deemed responsible for their losses.
