I've been told it is very difficult to sue a "non profit" hospital. My relative was misdiagnosed in an ER, can we sue?

Asked by a user in Burlington, MA - over 2 years ago.

I am very sorry to learn of your loss. You should be aware that most hospitals in MA are designated as "charitable" or "non-profits", however if there is liability, individual doctors and/or nurses may be held accountable. I would be pleased to answer any additional questions you may have.
