Fletcher v. Harafajee

In Fletcher v. Harafajee, 100 Mich App 440, 442; 299 NW2d 53 (1980), the plaintiff, a city of Flint police officer, was shot while on duty, was taken to a hospital owned by the city of Flint, and was treated negligently for her wounds. The Court held that the plaintiff could maintain a suit against the city hospital despite the WDCA, indicating that city, in treating plaintiff for her wounds, was not acting as her employer: Plaintiff did not receive the services of defendants only as a consequence of her employment. The medical center is not a facility intended for exclusive treatment of city employees. It was merely an unfortunate coincidence that it was utilized by plaintiff. Id. at 445.
