Do Doctors Ever Point Fingers at Nurses? http://www.oginski-law.com/library/do-doctors-ever-point-fingers-at-nurses-in-malpractice-cases.cfm NY Medical Malpractice & Personal Injury Lawyer Gerry Oginski Explains 516-487-8207 Email: Gerry@Oginski-Law.com The answer is yes.

If they're both employed by the same hospital, it's unlikely you'll see doctors pointing fingers at the nurses. Why? Because if one is held to be legally responsible for your injuries, the hospital, as the employer, is ultimately responsible to pay for any verdict or judgment. That's known as respondeat superior. It's also known as vicarious liability, where the employer is responsible for the acts of their employees. What happens though if the doctors are NOT employed by the hospital?
