NY Medical Malpractice Trial Attorney Gerry Oginski lectures to 60 Attorneys at the New York City Bar Association in their Bridge-the-Gap continuing legal education series.
This is part 6 of 19 selected video clips that helps attorneys understand how medical malpractice cases work here in the state of New York.
A bridge-the-gap program at the New York City Bar Association is a great way for lawyers of all different specialties to obtain continuing legal education credit in topics that they typically would not learn about.
For years now I have been privileged to be asked to speak repeatedly at the New York City Bar Association on the topic of medical malpractice in NY. Last fall, I had the chance to speak to 60 lawyers who joined me as I discussed the importance of learning about medical malpractice law and how it impacts these lawyers directly even though they do not handle this specialty of law on a day to day basis.
As you go through the video you will notice recurring themes involving medical malpractice law in New York.
THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS...
Some of the key issues I discuss in this lecture involve the time limit in which an injured victim has to bring a lawsuit- in this segment I specifically talk about municipal hospitals in New York City involving a legal entity known as New York City Health & Hospitals Corporation.
WARNING...you cannot and should not rely on the time-limit information to start a lawsuit provided in this video!!
Why not?
Because the time limits that I discuss in this video are for the benefit of the attorneys and are only good as of the date I discussed them.
You should NEVER rely on information you find online about the time limits in which you have to bring a lawsuit in New York for medical malpractice. There are many different time limits for different scenarios; for adults, for children, for private hospitals, private physicians, municipal hospitals and more.
That is why it is so important that if you believe you might have a valid medical malpractice case, you pick up the phone and speak to an experienced attorney immediately so that you will know definitively whether or not your matter is timely.
NEVER RELY ON INFORMATION YOU FIND ONLINE OR IN A VIDEO ABOUT YOUR TIME LIMIT TO FILE A LAWSUIT ON YOUR BEHALF!
Since the attorneys in the audience are not practicing medical malpractice attorneys, this discussion was useful for them to understand how medical malpractice law could apply in their daily practice involving real estate law, transactional law, securities law, as general counsel for a corporation, and many other legal specialties that were represented there that day.
The discussion lasted an hour and a half and provided these lawyers with interesting and useful information about how medical malpractice lawsuits work here in the state of New York. This clip is 5th out of 19.
