Legal Question in Business Law in India
Sameer admitted his only infant son in a private nursing home. As a result of strong dose of medicine administered by the nursing attendant, the child became mentally retarded. Sameer wants to make a compliant under the Consumer Protection Act seeking relief by way of compensation on the ground that there was deficiency in service by the nursing home. Does his complaint give rise to a consumer dispute? How is the consumer in this
2 Answers from Attorneys
Sameer's Son is a consumer through his lawful guardian/father and can institute a consumer complaint. In addition, Sameer can also file complaint for medical negligence.
Agree with tapan ji,
A person availing medical services of a doctor or hospital is a consumer. However, a person getting such treatment without consideration and availing free services of hospital is not a consumer.
