Understanding the Timeline of a Foot Injury Malpractice Case in New York

This is the final installment of our educational series on foot injury malpractice cases in New York. Today, we’re focusing on one of the most common questions we receive:

“How long does a podiatry malpractice case take in New York?”

Unfortunately, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Each case is unique, and the timeline can vary significantly depending on the details involved. That said, if your case is thoroughly evaluated by an experienced medical malpractice attorney and a lawsuit is filed, the general timeline is typically:

  • 9 to 18 months for a straightforward case
  • 2 years or longer for more complex cases

Factors That Can Impact the Length of Your Case

Several elements can affect how long it takes for your case to reach resolution or trial:

  • Disputes during discovery (the legal process of exchanging information)
  • Delays from the defense (including tactics to slow the process down)
  • Professional misconduct investigations involving the podiatrist
  • Court scheduling and case backlog in New York courts

These delays can create the impression that “nothing is happening,” but rest assured — even when things seem quiet, legal work is still occurring behind the scenes.

What You Need to Know as a Patient in New York?

Litigation, especially in podiatry malpractice, requires patience. In New York State, the legal system often involves long waiting periods between court appearances, motions, and updates.

Our job as attorneys is to keep your case moving forward while protecting your best interests. While we want to get your case to trial in a timely manner, rushing through the legal process can actually be harmful to your outcome.

Some cases may settle in as little as 3 to 6 months, but this is rare when it comes to medical malpractice. Most podiatry malpractice cases take significantly longer, and it’s important to go into the process with realistic expectations.

Empowering You Through the Legal Process

We understand how frustrating and confusing this journey can be — especially when you’re dealing with pain, medical complications, and unanswered questions. Our goal is to educate, empower, and guide New Yorkers who are navigating the complexities of foot injury malpractice claims.

If you have additional questions after watching this series, we encourage you to reach out. Whether you’re still considering legal action or are ready to move forward, we’re here to help.
