Reference no: EM131247695
One doctor has been sued for several million dollars as the result of a recent operation. Because of what appears to be this doctor’s very poor judgment, a patient died. Although that doctor was solely involved with the patient in question, the lawsuit names the entire practice as a defendant. Originally, four of these doctors formed this business as a general partnership.
However, five years ago, the partners converted the business to a limited liability partnership based on the laws of the state in which they operate.
