Brooklyn Hospital Center – Downtown Campus FAQs
Malpractice is when an event leading to sickness, injury, or worse is perpetrated by a professional such as a doctor, medical professional, hospital or caregiving facility. For malpractice, the professional must have not fulfilled their role or duty in the capacity in which they are employed.
Not unlike malpractice, negligence is when sickness, injury or worse occurs, but the perpetrator is not a professional. Negligence can also be defined as a professional who is not working within a medical capacity at the time of the incident.
A hospital or medical professional is negligent when they fall short of providing reasonable care. Care is assessed by what a “reasonable person” would have provided under the same circumstances. Negligence cases can be brought when the care provided has resulted in the patient being injured due to negligence, carelessness, or reckless actions of their staff.
Some hospitals have a history of making mistakes that rise to the level of negligence. Laws are in place to protect patients who receive substandard care. A hospital that employs doctors, nurses, paramedics, medical technicians, and other employees can be sued if the patient is subject to an injury because of their negligence. If you have suffered harm because of a hospital’s negligence you may be entitled to compensation.
