$100 Million Lawsuit Targets Sinai-Grace Over Alleged Nurse Assaults

The complaint points to surveillance footage to argue hospital safeguards failed.

Overview

  • The suit, filed in Wayne County Circuit Court, names Sinai-Grace Hospital, parent company Tenet Healthcare, and staff over an alleged August 2025 assault of a hospitalized woman.
  • It alleges the patient was assaulted four times on Aug. 18–19 by then-nurse Wilfredo Figueroa-Berrios and that coworkers dismissed her complaints after discharge.
  • Plaintiff’s counsel cites hospital video showing the nurse entering the room multiple times and highlights social media posts he says signaled troubling behavior.
  • Sinai-Grace says it notified law enforcement, suspended the employee, later terminated him, and is cooperating with investigators while patient privacy rules limit disclosures.
  • Multiple criminal charges against Figueroa-Berrios remain pending, including counts tied to a May 2025 case, with local reports noting additional cases under review such as a reported porta-john assault.
