I'm sorry to hear about your situation. To sue Child Protective Services (CPS), Adult Protective Services, and a hospital, you need to establish that their actions or negligence violated your rights or caused harm. In New York, claims against government entities like CPS and Adult Protective Services typically require filing a notice of claim within 90 days under New York General Municipal Law § 50-e. For the hospital, any medical malpractice or negligence claims generally need to be filed within 2.5 years from the incident under New York Civil Practice Law and Rules (CPLR) § 214-a.
This area of law is not my specific practice, but I recommend searching for an attorney specializing in medical negligence and lawsuits against hospitals on attorney directories like Justia. These attorneys may be better equipped to assist you with the complexities of your case.

To sue Child Protective Services (CPS), Adult Protective Services, or a hospital, you need to gather all relevant evidence, including medical records, witness statements, and any communication with these agencies or hospital staff. Document every detail of the situation, including dates, times, names, and what occurred. This will help build a strong case to show negligence or failure to protect your rights and the well-being of your child.
Next, consult with a legal professional who has experience in handling cases against government agencies and hospitals. They can help you understand your legal options, the potential outcomes, and the steps needed to file a lawsuit. Make sure to discuss any deadlines for filing, as these can vary by state and situation.
You may also consider filing complaints with the appropriate regulatory bodies, such as the state health department or ombudsman, as well as any professional licensing boards involved. This could result in disciplinary action against those responsible and strengthen your case. Remember, you have the right to seek justice for what happened and to hold accountable those who failed to protect you and your child.
