New York acknowledges treatment received in an emergency setting is different from the care received in a low-pressure situation. New York requires the plaintiff in a lawsuit to prove willful and wanton negligence by the facility or medical staff, in other words, the actions of the facility and staff members was intentional or committed with reckless disregard for the safety of others. Accordingly, New York applies a more difficult burden of proof for cases involving emergency room errors than other medical malpractice cases.

The burden of proof for cases involving emergency room errors requires a showing that the medical staff departed from the standard of care that would have been given by prudent medical personnel under the same or similar circumstances. Generally, this burden can be met through the testimony of a medical expert.
