Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New York

I was recently hospitalized and upon being discharged, I spoke with a social worker regarding my living arrangements. At that time, unto my knowledge, she gave me medical records belonging to three other patients being discharged around the same time. The records indicate information such as the patients name, date of birth, medical diagnosis and so on... I am now uneasy feeling like my own medical information has been shared hap-hazardly with random individuals who may have come in contact with the social worker that day. I would like to seek compensation for negligence and HIPPA violation. Do I have a case?
