Q. What are my options after a missed diagnosis of osteoporosis led to severe health issues?

April 8, 2025

A: In New York, your situation involves legal consideration. Here’s a structured overview of your options:

### **Legal Options for Addressing Misdiagnosis**

1. **Statute of Limitations Considerations**

New York’s statute of limitations for medical malpractice is generally **2.5 years from the date of the negligent act** (here, the missed diagnosis in 2020). However:

- **Exceptions**:

- **Continuous Treatment Doctrine**: If you continued receiving care for the same condition from the original doctor after 2020, the clock starts when treatment ended.

- **Lavern’s Law**: This applies only to cancer misdiagnosis, not osteoporosis.

Given the timeline (misdiagnosis in 2020, discovery in 2025), your ability to sue may depend on whether the continuous treatment doctrine applies. Consult a medical malpractice attorney immediately to assess eligibility.

2. **Proving Medical Malpractice**

To succeed in a misdiagnosis case, you must demonstrate:

- **Duty of Care**: A doctor-patient relationship existed.

- **Breach of Standard of Care**: The doctor failed to diagnose osteoporosis as a competent provider would have under similar circumstances.

- **Causation**: The delay directly caused harm (e.g., worsened bone density, fractures, dental issues).

- **Damages**: Quantifiable losses (medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering).

Expert testimony from a medical professional is critical to establish these elements.

3. **Potential Compensation**

Recoverable damages may include:

- Past and future medical expenses (e.g., osteoporosis treatments, dental care).

- Lost income due to disability.

- Pain and suffering from physical and emotional distress.

- Punitive damages if the negligence was reckless or intentional.

### **Next Steps**

1. **Legal Action**: Contact a New York medical malpractice attorney immediately to evaluate your case.

Timeliness is critical for both legal and medical outcomes. Proactively addressing these areas can help mitigate long-term impacts and secure compensation for damages incurred. ... Read More

Q. How can I legally proceed against NYC-based organization for assisted housing negligence?

April 8, 2025

A: I’m really sorry about what happened to your mom and how tough this has been for you. If you want to take legal action against the organization for not properly caring for her, here’s a simpler breakdown of what to do:

**1. Understand What “Negligence” Means**

In New York, you’d need to show three things:

- The organization was supposed to keep your mom safe (this is called a “duty of care”).

- They failed to do that (like ignoring COVID rules, not helping with dehydration, or not preventing falls).

- Their failure directly caused harm to your mom.

**2. Gather Evidence**

Save any proof you have, like:

- Hospital records or doctor’s notes.

- Photos of unsafe conditions (dirty areas, broken equipment, etc.).

- Statements from people who saw what happened.

**3. Check Who’s Responsible**

- **Private Organization?** You’d file a lawsuit in civil court.

- **Government/Public Housing?** You might need to file a special notice with a government office first.

**4. Report to Authorities**

Contact groups like the **NYC Department of Health** to see if others have complained. They might investigate and help your case.

**5. Get a Lawyer**

This stuff is complicated! A lawyer who knows about medical or nursing home negligence can:

- Help collect evidence.

- Explain your rights.

- Fight for you in court if needed.

**Why This Matters**

Your goal is to prove the organization's mistakes hurt your mom. Strong evidence (like your documents) will be key.
