Overview
- Attorneys from Fieger Law and Flood Law said four additional suits were filed Wednesday, bringing the civil total to seven against DMC Sinai-Grace and parent Tenet.
- One lawsuit alleges a nurse was fired after reporting a patient assault, claiming a violation of Michigan’s Whistleblower Protection Act.
- Another filing describes a coworker’s assault in a porta-john during a workplace-endorsed downtown outing, an incident tied to criminal charges.
- Plaintiffs’ lawyers report near-daily contacts from alleged victims and say they are investigating many more potential cases.
- Sinai-Grace says it alerted law enforcement, suspended and later terminated the nurse and rejects retaliation claims, while the defendant denies wrongdoing and has been bound over for trial on multiple counts.
