There are many parties who can be sued for medical malpractice. There are practitioners who interact with the patient such as anesthesiologists, chiropractors, dentists, nurses, pharmacists, physicians, or surgeons. Additionally, the hospital or corporation that employs these practitioners may be sued as well as pharmaceutical companies that make the drug. The primary limit for who can be sued is whether or not you can establish liability for an injury. If a state has “vicarious liability” laws, then an employer can be held accountable for the negligent actions of an employee.
