New York Court of Appeals
David Weiner v. Lenox Hill…
November 19, 199688 N.Y.2d 784
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals held that the plaintiffs' claim against Lenox Hill Hospital sounds in negligence, not medical malpractice, and therefore is governed by the three‑year statute of limitations in CPLR 214, making the complaint timely. The Court affirmed the Appellate Division's order.
