Achieving successful Broome County case results for medical malpractice claims begins with applying the legal framework established under New York law for malpractice claims. To prevail, a plaintiff must prove the four traditional negligence elements: duty, breach, causation, and damages. A healthcare provider owes a duty to the patient to deliver care consistent with the standard of care that reasonably competent professionals in the same specialty would provide under similar circumstances. A breach occurs when the provider falls below that standard of care, whether by failing to order required tests, poorly performing a procedure, neglecting to monitor a patient after surgery, or prescribing the wrong medication.

Causation requires a direct connection between the provider’s breach and the injury suffered, and establishing this link often involves defeating the defense’s contention that the patient’s underlying condition caused the harm rather than the provider’s error. Damages account for the measurable harm, including medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, future care needs, as well as the non-economic impact, such as pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and emotional distress.

Expert testimony is indispensable in medical malpractice actions: medical specialists educate the court regarding the accepted standard of care, how the provider deviated from it, and how that deviation caused the injury.  At our firm, we collaborate with highly qualified medical experts to build the evidentiary foundation required for favorable medical malpractice case results in Broome County.

When advocating for injured patients in Broome County, we address the legal complexities that often arise in medical malpractice litigation. Insurance carriers and hospitals tend to vigorously defend claims, often challenging liability, causation, and damages. To counter these defenses, our team undertakes careful case development: we collect and analyze medical records, secure independent expert opinions, evaluate future treatment needs, and calculate the full scope of economic and non-economic injuries. We do not accept early, inadequate settlement offers simply to close a case; instead, we strive to ensure that any recovery reflects the full magnitude of our client’s losses.
