Appellate Practice Attorney serving New York, NY
It is unfortunate that the hospital did not heed your wishes, but I'm not sure you have any recourse. In almost all civil suits, you must show actual monetary damages in order to get relief. How did the hospital's mistake damage you and/or your child? Emotional distress or aggravation is not compensable in this situation.
