A number of different possibilities, manufacturer, hospital, repair companies and medical personnel if aware of problems. You need to hire counsel as son as you can as motions need to be filed in court to prevent the destruction of the equipment, maintenance logs, etc.
Almost certainly the hospital is. There may be others. I would be glad to speak with you about your situation as soon as you feel able to deal with it. I am sorry for the terrible circumstance you find yourself in. Larry

All serious injury claims deserve a thorough investigation as to the cause of injury. In many complex injury scenarios there are more than one responsible party. The best strategy in most cases is to go for the 'deep pocket' or the party with the most money so the injured person can be made whole. Medical malpractice cases are capped at $1.25 million in Indiana, but there are other possibilities for a larger recovery. Multi-million dollar complex injury cases have been my emphasis for the past nearly 30 years. I suggest you educate yourself by visiting my firm's website at the following link:
