More and more we have come across cases where the reps are actually counseling the patient on vital decisions regarding the patient’s health care and showing up in the operating room. We have even seen instances where the intra-operative notes indicate that the representative placed his or her hands on the patient during surgery. In some cases, the actions of the representative caused or contributed to the patient’s injury or death. In reviewing potential [medical malpractice](https://virginiatrialfirm.com/) cases, the trial lawyer should not just consider the negligence of the traditional health care providers, but also the negligence of the manufacturer representative. Among the types of cases in which manufacturer representatives have been sued for the unauthorized practice of medicine or negligently performing assumed duties include orthopedic spine surgeries, orthopedic prosthetic (hip and knee) surgeries, cardiac stent and pacemaker procedures, and cosmetic laser surgeries. Most of the cases in which we have seen the presence of manufacturer representatives are orthopedic cases. Virginia Code Sections 54.1-2902 et. seq. prohibit the unauthorized practice of medicine. A patient harmed as a result of a manufacturer representative’s actions should consider bringing a suit against the representative for negligence per se in violating the aforementioned statute, as well as negligence in the discharge of duties voluntarily assumed. There may also be potential claims for breach of express warranties or implied warranties of fitness for a particular purpose. In the situation in which the rep actually places his or her hands on the patient, a count for battery may also be brought. In Virginia, where there exists a cap on medical malpractice cases, a verdict obtained against a manufacturer representative who is not a “health care provider” as defined by the Virginia Medical Malpractice Act, seemingly may exceed the cap. The trial lawyer handling medical malpractice cases should not overlook cases against the manufacturer representative who has engaged in the unauthorized practice of medicine. * [ Stephanie Grana ](https://virginiatrialfirm.com/blog/author/stephanie-grana/) * [Uncategorized](https://virginiatrialfirm.com/blog/category/uncategorized/) Share This Post #### On This Page ### Contact Us ### Recent Posts [ ](https://virginiatrialfirm.com/blog/breakthrough-spinal-cord-injury-treatments-are-changing-recovery/) ### [ Breakthrough Spinal Cord Injury Treatments Are Changing Recovery ](https://virginiatrialfirm.com/blog/breakthrough-spinal-cord-injury-treatments-are-changing-recovery/) The Virginia Trial Firm March 26, 2026 [ Read More » ](https://virginiatrialfirm.com/blog/breakthrough-spinal-cord-injury-treatments-are-changing-recovery/) [ ](https://virginiatrialfirm.com/blog/the-future-of-brain-injury-care-research-rehabilitation-and-what-it-means-for-tbi-cases/) ### [ The Future of Brain Injury Care: Research, Rehabilitation, and What It Means for TBI Cases ](https://virginiatrialfirm.com/blog/the-future-of-brain-injury-care-research-rehabilitation-and-what-it-means-for-tbi-cases/) The Virginia Trial Firm February 27, 2026 [ Read More » ](https://virginiatrialfirm.com/blog/the-future-of-brain-injury-care-research-rehabilitation-and-what-it-means-for-tbi-cases/) [ ](https://virginiatrialfirm.com/blog/commuting-to-work-by-bicycle/) ### [ Commuting To Work By Bicycle ](https://virginiatrialfirm.com/blog/commuting-to-work-by-bicycle/) The Virginia Trial Firm February 24, 2026 [ Read More » ](https://virginiatrialfirm.com/blog/commuting-to-work-by-bicycle/) ### [ 2025 in Review: Milestones for Every Season ](https://virginiatrialfirm.com/blog/2025-in-review-milestones-for-every-season/) The Virginia Trial Firm February 18, 2026 [ Read More » ](https://virginiatrialfirm.com/blog/2025-in-review-milestones-for-every-season/) Get Started Right Away!
