Liability Overview

Liability Considerations in New York

New York has a 2.5-year statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims. The child's claim is tolled until age 18 under CPLR § 208 — the child has until age 18 plus 2.5 years to file their own claim. The parent's claim must be filed within 2.5 years. New York does not cap medical malpractice damages. New York City's $35.18 million HIE verdict and $8 million birth injury verdict demonstrate the scope of recoveries available in this jurisdiction.
