Many people can be a party to the law suit. The director of each hospital will consult with his legal staff and prepare their response to any law suit. IF the law suit was filed against a doctor in the emergency room then that doctor will be a party to the case. The staff on duty who was directly involved could also be a party to the law suit. Your question is very braod. If you file a law suit the Insurance company who holds the liability policy will also respond with their lawyers.

Without knowing the details of the case and the thought process of the physicians involved in the case, no one on these boards can give you an accurate answer to this question.
