LAWSUITS NEWS & LEGAL INFORMATION

Marshall Fogelson and Attorney Edgar Dietrich

Peter Tiernan was a resident in general surgery at St. John's Hospital in Detroit. Tiernan alleged that he was dismissed from his residency for blowing the whistle to the Wayne County Medical Examiners Office. His attorneys allegedly failed to order a transcript and his whistleblower case was improperly dismissed due to the statute of limitations. Tiernan would have prevailed in his underlying whistleblower case against St. John's Hospital had his lawyers acted. The jury awarded Tiernan $11.9 million for legal malpractice.
