When you bring a medical malpractice lawsuit in New York, you are required to have a medical expert confirm that you have a valid case. When you go to trial in a medical malpractice case in NY, you must also hire medical experts to explain to a jury what happened and why. Since we do not have medical training, the treatment that a patient may have received would not be within the common knowledge of the jurors, the attorneys or the judge who are listening to a case. In order to help us understand the medicine, we bring medical experts in, in different specialties, to talk about the reasons why a patient received particular care or lack of care.

Depending upon the type of case, we may bring in different medical experts to explain not just why there was wrongdoing, but also to explain how the wrongdoing caused injury. In addition, we are often required to bring in treating doctors to explain to the jury what problems this particular person will experience in the future and what further medical care and treatment this individual will need.

In an obstetrical malpractice case, we always bring in an obstetrician to talk about the wrongdoing. We also will bring in a pediatric neurologist to talk about the child and his or her injuries. In addition, we will often bring in physical and rehabilitation experts to talk about the child’s needs over the course of their lifetime based upon their disability. In a surgery malpractice case, obviously we bring in a surgeon; and value to diagnose lung cancer case we will often bring in a pulmonary expert as well as an oncologist, a doctor who specializes in treating cancer.
