Hospital Not Liable for Accidental Fall; NCDRC Rejects Rs 2.4 Crore Claim Against Apollo Hospital Hyderabad - Video
Overview
The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) recently exonerated Apollo Hospital, Hyderabad, for the medical negligence during the treatment of an elderly patient, who, during hospitalisation, suffered a fall from the hospital bed.
While the complainant claimed that the fall was due to negligence of the hospital in providing the necessary care and support services, the Apex Consumer Court concluded that there was no indication that the fall had been due to negligence on account of the failure to raise the side rails of the bed by the staff. Accordingly, the consequent fall cannot be attributed to the negligence in providing the support services but appears to be accidental.
