Hospital Liability Law explores the area of law known generally as “hospital liability,” the duties and responsibilities a hospital owes to its patients, and the theories under which a hospital may be held liable, including negligence; lack of informed consent and/or informed refusal; unauthorized treatment which may lead to a cause of action for battery; breach of privacy for the unauthorized release of a patient’s medical record; and breach of contract. This almanac also discusses the responsibility of the hospital for the actions of its employees.
