Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in New York

I am sorry for your son's ordeal. In a medical malpractice or misdiagnosis claim you have to prove two elements 1) liability, i.e., whether the doctor or hospital deviated from the standard and care and 2) damages (the extent of your son's injuries).

Medical malpractice cases are complex and costly to litigate. As such, when a lawyer determines whether he will take a case the extent and/or seriousness of the injuries is a major factor.

I need more information from you about the facts of your son's claim but one problem you may have is proving whether the error of a slight fracture as opposed to a break in the scapula had any significant difference in the type of treatment he was given. Moreover, if the answer to that question is yes, did the changed treatment (or lack thereof) make his injuries worse or complicate his condition.
