Though HC is not mentioned in this article nor the T&G article as a co-defendent, you have to wonder. All you lawyers out there know better than I do that when the lawsuits get filed, plaintiffs attorneys sue everyone that might have the smallest involvement because you just never know who a jury might think is responsible for damages.

HC's refusal to comment may well be that they are respecting the family of Dan Allen at this difficult time but might also be because they might be named as co-defendent, if not already having that status (though, presumably, T&G and/or the AP have seen the legal papers and would have named HC as a defendent if there).

Since the suit has been filed, I assume that the statute has been tolled and can be amended to add defendents later on but I'll leave that conjecture to those with more legal background.

This sad story takes an ever sadder turn if Mr. Allen's illness and death were avoidable. Allen's family did not sue Holy Cross, but there is a good chance that the defendant will join Holy Cross to the suit as a third-party defendant.
