The Doctor ALMOST Killed Me! New York Medical Malpractice Attorney Gerry Oginski Explains

The Doctor ALMOST Killed Me! New York Medical Malpractice Attorney Gerry Oginski Explains http://www.oginski-law.com/library/best-lawyers-in-ny-have-an-agenda-during-pretrial-testimony.cfm 516-487-8207 Email: Gerry@Oginski-Law.com You should know that in a medical malpractice case in New York, “almost” doesn't count. The other comment I will often get is “he could have killed me.” Fortunately, “he could have killed me,” also doesn't count. The fact is that you are still alive. You should count your blessings. You should be thankful. Some callers are not. Some callers are downright angry. Some callers get upset when I tell them that "almost" doesn't count. Then they angrily say “You're telling me that my case would be worth more if I died?” First, that's not what I'm saying. Second, that's unlikely true. Although the doctor may have violated the basic standards of medical care causing you harm, the fact remains that you are still alive. Maybe you endured significant pain. Maybe you endured horrible suffering. Maybe you are now permanently disabled. If you die as a result of improper medical care, the time in which you experience pain and suffering is limited and finite. When you remain alive, that pain and suffering may go on for many years into the future and possibly throughout the remainder of your life. There are different types of damages that a surviving family can claim in a wrongful death lawsuit that are different than in a lawsuit where you survived. The first major difference is that in a death case, the surviving family members submit a claim for pecuniary loss. That means that they are asking to be compensated for the financial loss to their family as a result of your death. The bottom line is that “almost” doesn't count. Watch the video to learn more...
