Medical malpractice occurs at Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center when a doctor, nurse, or other medical professional fails to provide the reasonable standard of care and a patient becomes hurt as a result. While you can file a claim against the healthcare professional that caused your injuries, you may also be able to file a claim against the facility.
