When hospitals fail to protect patients and staff, civil litigation can pursue accountability and institutional reform.
Civil Lawsuits Against DMC and Tenet Healthcare
Flood Law has filed multiple civil complaints naming:
- Tenet Healthcare
- Detroit Medical Center Sinai-Grace Hospital
- Former nurse Wilfredo Figueroa Berrios
The lawsuits allege that hospital leadership failed to protect patients and staff despite warning signs and prior concerns.
According to the filed complaints, DMC and Tenet Healthcare are accused of hiring and retaining an employee with a documented history of violent or inappropriate behavior, failing to conduct adequate background checks, ignoring or failing to properly investigate abuse complaints, and providing inadequate staff training and supervision.
Civil claims assert that institutional negligence contributed to preventable harm.
