This is a common question. Injured victims often are worried that if they bring a lawsuit in New York against their doctor, they're concerned that the doctor may lose his or her license.

The reality is that a claim for medical negligence, also known as medical malpractice, rarely, if ever, is grounds for a doctor to lose his license.

Here are some examples of when the New York State Department of Health office of professional misconduct intervenes and will revoke a doctor's license:

1. When a doctor is found to have intentionally altered a patient's medical record to try and shield himself from improper treatment.
2. If a doctor intentionally does something that causes the patient physical harm.
3. If the doctor is found be an imminent danger to his current patients.

Those are instances where a doctor's medical license has been revoked.

Bringing a civil lawsuit for claims of medical wrongdoing will not result in a doctor losing their license. Watch the video to learn more.
