If it can be proven that a medical practitioner acted in bad faith, there may be cause to file a lawsuit. Seeking care at a hospital signifies someone has carried out their due diligence in obtaining medical care.
Doctors take an oath upon receiving this designation and should be held accountable. The hospitals that employ them should also be held responsible for their actions. Through this vicarious liability, in which a hospital would be held liable for damages rendered by one of its practicing physicians, you or your family member can seek compensation for damages.
