Hi ****,
In New York, a woman could potentially sue a hospital for breaking her hymen without permission under medical malpractice or battery. The amount of damages would depend on the specific circumstances, including the extent of emotional distress and physical harm.
To provide more guidance, could you tell me if the incident involved any clear signs of negligence or lack of consent?
She said she was told to lie down and the woman would examine her. Her hymen broke during the speculum exam. Rita said it hurt.
Hi ****,
I understand your concern. In New York, potential claims for breaking a hymen without consent could fall under:
- **Medical Malpractice:** Requires proof of negligence in the medical procedure.
- **Battery:** Non-consensual touching or harm.
Could you clarify if there were any explicit instructions given to Rita about the procedure or if she provided any consent?
She did not understand the risks of the procedure, or exactly what it would involve. She was * when that happened. She is currently *.
Hi ****,
In New York, Rita may have grounds for a medical malpractice or battery claim due to the lack of informed consent. Since she was a minor at the time, additional protections apply. She may be eligible to file a lawsuit until she turns *.
Would you like more information on how to proceed with a potential claim?
I think I need to have Rita talk to you. I will give her the address of your web site. She can explain it better.
