Wrongful Death Caused by New York Medical Malpractice

The ultimate personal injury in a New York medical malpractice case is the wrongful death of a loved one.  This can be caused by many different acts of negligence due to a healthcare provider.  Anytime a patient goes into the hospital and passes away, it is important to have an Kingston medical malpractice lawyer evaluate your case.  This is particularly true if a patient went into the hospital without the risk of dying, but ended up being killed.  This is a clear indiction that there could be New York medical malpractice.

There are many ways that a healthcare provider could cause the wrongful death of a loved one.  This includes some of the following medical mistakes:

  • Surgical errors;
  • Birth injuries;
  • Wrong patient surgery/wrong site surgery;
  • Medication overdoses;
  • PCA pump failures;
  • Anesthesia errors;
  • Cancer misdiagnosis;
  • Failure to timely diagnose a heart attack;
  • Delays in performing a C-section;
  • Pulmonary embolism misdiagnosis;
  • Delays in treating a stroke;
  • Hospital falls/failing to have a patient marked as a fall risk; and
  • Many other claims.
