St. Joe’s Lawsuits
The Baltimore Business Journal recently reported some details of the UMMS St. Joe’s purchase. Largely because of lawsuits against St. Joseph Medical Center, the deal was done as an assets only transaction. The facilities were sold, among other things. However, University of Maryland will not be responsible for the host of lawsuits against St. Joe’s, Catholic Health Initiatives, Dr. Mark Midei, and Mid-Atlantic Cardiovascular Associates. The common defendants in these cases are listed as some of the most commonly sued among Maryland hospitals.
Plaintiff’s attorneys handling these suits include Jay Miller and Steve Markey, among others.
The Midei suits really show the potential for damage to an institution from a series of (alleged) bad acts on only one person’s part. The Nikita Levy cases against Johns Hopkins may prove to produce a similar volume of lawsuits, if not substantially higher. InjuryLawyerDatabase.com will try to follow those suits as they unfold.
