This is a complicated matter but if your medical information was released without your permission or was released by accident to anyone, then the hospital is liable. The extend of harm caused by such release and your ability to pursue this matter in the court system will be severely tough. You will need proof of accidental release such as a disclosure from the hospital that such an incident happened.
