About Raphaelson & Levine Law Firm, P.C.

City and county governments in New York own many of its hospitals. Some also exist due to a specially-formed corporation by the state government. New York, unlike some of the other states, has waived its right of immunity in cases of medical malpractice or wrongful death. That means people receiving care at a hospital-owned by a New York state agency have the right to sue for negligent treatment. The difference is that the patient must file a lawsuit or a notice of claim against the state government within 90 days of the date of the injury. He or she then has 15 months to follow through with filing a medical malpractice or wrongful death lawsuit. The court may extend this timeframe only in limited circumstances.
