GOLDMAN v. NEW YORK CITY HEALTH AND HOSPITALS

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department.
Oct 13, 1992

Ordered that the order is reversed insofar as appealed from, on the law, with costs, and the cross motion is denied.

In her notice of claim, the plaintiff alleged, inter alia, that in the course of treating her, the defendants, a hospital and individual physicians, "committed acts and/or omissions constituting professional negligence". This notice of claim sufficiently apprised the defendants of the second through tenth causes of action premised on lack of informed consent so as to enable them to conduct a proper investigation (see, General Municipal Law ยง 50-e; DeLeonibus v Scognamillo, 183 A.D.2d 697; O'Brien v City of Syracuse, 54 N.Y.2d 353). Accordingly, those causes of action are reinstated. Mangano, P.J., Sullivan, O'Brien, Ritter and Pizzuto, JJ., concur.
