This sounds like the lawsuits that happen on a regular basis in my "real" job. I'm a full time firefighter/paramedic. People sue in the medical field ALL the time. They list EVERYONE who came in contact with the patient on the day, the ambulance/fire crews and police officers who may have been at the scene, the department itself, the nurses, doctors, doctors association, hospital, maybe even the lawn mowing service! It's usually for some stupid something. The case is drug through the initial pre-trail bs for months and months, and then the case is dropped or settled just before trail is set to begin.
I wouldn't worry much about this, other than it is a BIG hassle.
I also used to work loss prevention, and was subpoenaed for a case where I had VIDEO evidence of the theft, as well as her PURSE she left with all her ID! I had to do a deposition before the trial, but this eventually was settled pre-court. People can just be stupid in this world!
