Is there a statute of limitations on cancer misdiagnosis lawsuits?

The statute of limitations in New York for all medical malpractice lawsuits -- with some exception that we won't go into -- is 2-1/2 years. But in cancer cases it's tricky because if somebody had a mammogram, for example, two years ago and didn't know that there was a lesion on there -- that there was cancer on there that wasn't picked up -- and then they find out about it just close to that statute of limitations, they have to put that in suit right away. New York does not have a discovery rule that from the time of discovery the statute runs. It runs from the last treatment by the doctor, and one has to be specially careful in cancer cases. I'm Steven (sp?) North. I specialize in medical malpractice litigation. My office is located in a townhouse in the Upper East Side of Manhattan. We welcome your call.

Do California lenders have to modify my loans?

California lenders and any lender nationwide, if it involves a borrower who lives in California, the new civil code section 2923.5 and .6 says that the lender has to get a loan modification, keep the borrower in the home if the loan modification will make the lender more money than the foreclosure. The point of that statute is to stop these foreclosures from happening. The California Legislature has realized that foreclosures are a tremendous problem. It's impacting the economy and so the California Legislature passed this law as an emergency statute to help homeowners stay in the home and to stem the losses that are resulting from these foreclosures.

When should I consult an attorney if I suspect malpractice?

If someone suspects that there is a medical malpractice case, it's important that they contact an attorney promptly. The reason for that are multifold. One is a statute of limitations, a time limit in which a lawsuit has to be brought. And some of those time limits are very short. If municipalities are involved it's as short as three months within a claim has to be filed. It's also important to get involved early to obtain the medical records before they are potentially changed or altered. So the earlier the better is the general rule.

What types of injuries are covered by workers' compensation?

Worker's Compensation covers injuries or accidents that arise in the course of your employment. Many of them are very obvious. You know, I bent down and I lifted something up awkwardly, and I had an acute injury to my back or my neck. And the ones that become far more difficult and where people really don't understand their coverage are the repetitive type injuries, that - the types of injuries that happen over time, that my job requires me to lift heavy things day in and day out; and over time my body breaks down where I can't do the functions of my job. People unfortunately don't know that that is exactly what Worker's Compensation covers, that they feel it has to be some specific acute identifiable event. And that's not what the statute requires. My name is attorney Stephen (sp?) Kantrovitz of Kantrovitz & Associates. For the past 20 years we have been representing individuals in the greater Boston area in worker's Compensation, personal injury and Social Security disability claims.
