Hi all,
I received a letter late Friday telling me I was a "fact witness" , NOT a defendant, in a lawsuit regarding a procedure I was involved in, last April 2001! Has anyone else ever had this happen? I am now to the point where at least I don't hyperventilate anymore when I look at the letter. I feel like *I* did something wrong (the patient died) but I am not the one being sued, and I can't think of anything I did wrong anyways. But I also don't remember that much about it at this point. I am very nervous, any advice out there? Is this something I need to get my own counsel for? I do have nursing Liability Insurance, am I supposed to call my insurance co. about it too? help, please!
I of course will be calling the lawyers who sent me the letter tomorrow, and going from there, but I know you guys will help me!
thanks!!!!!!
Nancy
