Any one who does harm to a patient is liable. Check your federal state and local government for specifics. Also, in court, unless you know the laws you won't know if the courts are abiding by them. And, laws get changed and are not always kept up to date for the public. The courts want to have the upper hand and if you don't have a competent lawyer you will get screwed. If you did an act of violence or injured a patient and have confessed verbally or signed written documentation your fate is sealed. Don't ever verbalize an admission of guilt until you get the facts straight and don't ever sign anything. The company you work for may try to intimidate you and threaten you and they will get away with it unless you are black or foreign and living in the south and then they really don't care what you do to patients.
