Hospital Negligence New York
If you or a loved one have been victimized by hospital negligence in the state of New York, you do not need to face this situation alone. When hospital negligence is the cause of serious pain or illness, disability or death, the victim or his heirs may recover substantial damages in court. By holding hospitals accountable for their care, the legal system helps to safeguard future patients.
Under New York law, hospital negligence results when hospital staff fails to provide proper medical care and treatment to a patient and the patient suffers resulting harm. Ordinarily the definition of proper care and treatment involves the standard of care that would be provided by competent medical professionals in the community where the incident occurred. These standards can apply not only to doctors but also to a hospital's other staff including nurses, hospital pharmacy staff, technicians and others.
