Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center FAQs
Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center has been at the center of many lawsuits claiming medical negligence and malpractice. At one point, there were over a dozen cases in which death was the ultimate result of the malpractice. In other instances, a diabetic person sued because their puncture wound went untreated and led to the amputation of their toe, and another patient with an allergy bracelet was given penicillin even though the allergy was printed on the bracelet. Needless to say, Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center is no stranger to being sued and Duffy & Duffy is here to assist.
Malpractice is when a professional person or entity, such as a doctor, medical professional, hospital, caregiving facility, are proven to be responsible for not providing professional care within their scope resulting in injury, further illness, or worse. According to New York State law, the aggrieved has 30 months to file for malpractice.
As opposed to malpractice, negligence is when a nonprofessional person or entity is proven responsible for not providing the care that falls within their scope of responsibility. Again, the aggrieved has 30 months to file 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.
