A:
If you believe your rights were violated while you were a patient at a hospital in California, you should take certain steps. First, document all the details of the incident, including dates, times, and any witnesses present. Seek medical attention if you were injured during the altercation.
Next, you may want to file a complaint with the hospital's administration or patient advocacy department to address the issues you experienced during your stay. If that doesn't resolve your concerns, you can reach out to the California Department of Public Health to report the incident and request an investigation.
It's also important to consult with a personal injury attorney in California who can evaluate your case and advise you on potential legal actions. They can help you determine if there are grounds for a lawsuit based on the violation of your rights and the injuries you suffered. Promptly addressing these issues is crucial to protect your rights and seek appropriate remedies.
