Bellevue Hospital Center FAQs
Bellevue Hospital Center has been sued for a variety of reasons, but some of the most notable cases include: a suit where a schizophrenic woman was released and went on to murder another woman due to her unstable state, the untimely administering of drugs leading to death, undiagnosed kidney failure after surgery, and many more. Duffy & Duffy can help you or a loved one hold Bellevue Hospital Center accountable for medical malpractices, including these scenarios and many more.
Malpractice is defined by whether the act/acts were performed by a professional person such as a doctor, medical professional, hospital or other medical facility. If a professional is responsible, the center may be found guilty of malpractice and victims have a short window to pursue legal recourse. It is important if you or a loved one contact a lawyer immediately if you think you have the grounds for a lawsuit.
Conversely to malpractice, negligence is when the act/acts were performed by a non-professional person. In conjunction with this, if the act in question is not related to medical care, but performed by a professional, this is also negligence. Negligence cases can be brought when the case involves a patient being injured due to negligence, carelessness or recklessness of staff. As with malpractice, the aggrieved has 30 months to file this suit.
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.
