At Miller, Montiel & Strano, P.C., we have been protecting New York injury victims for five decades, and we are ready to put that experience to work for you.

What Is Medical Malpractice and Do You Have a Case?

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional deviates from the accepted standard of care, directly causing harm to a patient. Common forms of medical negligence include:

• Failure to diagnose — including missed or delayed cancer diagnoses
• Surgical errors — wrong-site surgery, anesthesia mistakes, or retained instruments
• Medication errors — incorrect prescriptions or dangerous drug interactions
• Birth injuries — negligence during labor and delivery causing harm to mother or child
• Hospital negligence — inadequate monitoring, infections, or premature discharge

Patients throughout Nassau County — from Mineola and Hempstead to Garden City and Great Neck — receive care at facilities such as NYU Langone Hospital – Long Island, Nassau University Medical Center, and Winthrop-University Hospital. When negligent care at any of these institutions causes serious harm, a skilled medical malpractice attorney in Nassau County can help you pursue the compensation you deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions: Medical Malpractice in Nassau County

How long do I have to file a medical malpractice lawsuit in New York?
In New York, the statute of limitations for medical malpractice is 2 years and 6 months (30 months) from the date of the negligent act or from the end of continuous treatment by the provider being sued. Different rules may apply in cases involving minors or foreign objects left in the body. Do not wait — contact a medical malpractice lawyer in Nassau County immediately to protect your rights.

What evidence do I need for a medical malpractice case in Nassau County?
Key evidence typically includes complete medical records, imaging results, treatment notes, and testimony from qualified medical professionals who can confirm that the standard of care was breached. An attorney at Miller, Montiel & Strano will help you gather and preserve the evidence needed to support your claim.

How do I know if my doctor committed malpractice?
Not every bad medical outcome constitutes malpractice. You must be able to show that the provider failed to meet the standard of care a reasonably competent provider would have followed under the same circumstances, and that failure directly caused your injury. A free consultation with our team is the best first step.

What compensation can I recover in a Nassau County medical malpractice case?
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and — in cases of wrongful death — damages for surviving family members.

Can I still file if I am unsure whether I need help filing a medical negligence lawsuit immediately in Nassau?
Yes. The sooner you act, the better. Evidence can be lost, and deadlines are strict. Contact our office today for a free, no-obligation consultation.
