Can we file a malpractice case for a missed pelvic fracture in the E.R.?

Personal Injury lawyer at Andrew T. Velonis, P.C.
The problem is, that regardless of the malpractice (even if obvious and provable) these cases are very expensive and time consuming. It takes tens of thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of attorney's time to bring a successful malpractice action. Doctors and hospitals know this, which means they can get away with malpractice if the result is such that it won't be "worth" pursuing from a lawyer's point of view. So the question really is, whether the failure to diagnose has made her recovery significantly more difficult than it would have been otherwise. If so, call a few med-mal lawyers in your area, maybe someone will be willing to take it.

What can I do if I was injured on the job and my boss does not want to pay me for it?

If your employer carries worker's compensation insurance and your injury occurred in the course and scope of your employment then you have a right to file a worker's compensation claim. The worker's compensation carrier then will be required to pay for your medical and lost wages. If your employer does not carry worker's compensation insurance, then you may file a lawsuit against your employer.

You cannot sue your employer in any event, the only action against your employer is worker's comp and in NY you've got 2 years for that.
