Not given treatment to accident victim.

Dear Lawyers,

Recently a friends brother met a road accident in Noida. Noida Police took him to Safdarjang at around 1:00 AM in night and informed their realtives at around 4:00 AM. who lives at a distance place in UP, they quickly informed somebody in delhi who reached Safdarjang and surprised to find that Safdarganj has not even started any treatment and the boy was lying in pool of blood since 4 hours, He was then asked to fill up  some traditional forms and asked him to get his unltrasound and and CT scan done otherwise they dont know what treatment to be started. His relative then shifted him to AIIMS trauma center but they could not save him because because of huge blood loss.

This is certainly a case of negligeance, why a blood relative is required to admit any accident victim to start a treatment when police itself has brought the victim.Is this a rule in govt. hospitals that if no blood relative is there they will not treat accident victim?

 What should we do please advice

Approach a very able counsel handling MACT, Medical Negligence Cases.

Hope you have all evidence and documents to prove your points.

Thanks Everyone.. but only evidence seems the noida police admitting him in Safdarjang, we can ask what file they have created and what treatment they have started and if they produce anything then it can be verified by AIIMS that in which condition he was brought in AIIMS

Obtain from Police and Safdaganj Hopsital the record showing: Patient admitted at 1am, treatment given till 4am, then dichraged under what conditions.

 

Your relative must be having record of call recieved at 4am, and subsequet calls made by him after 4am to someone at Delhi.

Obtain from Police and AIIMS Hopsital the record showing: Patient admitted after 4am, treatment given till death.

 

Your relative at Delhi that was with patient is witness.

Check if Safdarganj hopsital is under CCTV survillience.

 

You have to make your own efforts.

Your own counsel can guide you further.
