Hello,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.
To sue for negligence four criteria are required. One of them whether plaintiff suffered any damage. Other criteria are as per the requirement in your case. If you also suffered any damage due to negligence you can sue the hospital.
I hope this clears the situation for you.
Thanks and regards
