Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in New York
Hospital of Joint Diseases
How can I find out about any malpractice suits against a doctor or hospital in NYC. I know about the death of an epilepsy patient that occurred at this hospital in June or July of 1998. The hospital is engaged in a cover-up of this matter. Apart from this specific case, I'd like to know whether there are any open investigations against this hospital. Is there a database showing cases and settlements.

Try the new York Jury Verdict Reporter. You can find it is a reputable law library such as the NYC Bar Assoc or the N County Lawyers Assn.
Try the Court Computers in the courthouses. At 60 Center Street there is one in Room 158. You can search by def name.
The entire process will be long and arduous.
Good Luck.
