New York Court of Appeals
William G. Dillon, Appellant v. Rockaway Beach Hospital and Dispensary, Respondent
November 19, 1940284 N.Y. 176
Summary
The Court held that the plaintiff's circumstantial evidence was sufficient to constitute a prima facie case of negligence and causation, and that a charitable hospital is not immune from liability for the negligent acts of its servants; therefore the lower court's nonsuit was reversed and a new trial was ordered.
