In August 2024, Dr. Oumair Aejaz, a doctor of internal medicine who immigrated to the United States from India on a work visa in 2011, was criminally charged in connection to numerous allegations that he secretly photographed, filmed, and molested patients in his care, in addition to similar conduct with adults and children in a local swimming pool’s changing room. Initial investigations indicate that Dr. Aejaz seems to have been engaging in this illegal and abusive behavior for several years; just one of the many devices confiscated from his home contained more than 13,000 video files.
While the authorities arrested and charged Dr. Aejaz in Oakland County, Michigan, he has worked on a contract basis at multiple health care facilities around the United States, which means there may be grounds for Dr. Oumair Aejaz sexual abuse lawsuits to proceed in various states. If you were a patient of Dr. Aejaz, one of the capable sexual abuse attorneys at Phillips Law Group can review your circumstances with you and potentially help you seek civil compensation.
After moving to the United States for an internship in 2011 and completing a residency at Detroit’s Sinai Grace Hospital, Dr. Aejaz worked as a hospitalist at Southeast Health Hospital in Dothan, Alabama, starting in December 2015 and ending in December 2018. He then established residence in Rochester Hills, Michigan, and, between 2018 and 2024, practiced as a contracted physician at numerous hospitals in the area, including Ascension Genesys in Grand Blanc and Henry Ford Macomb in Clinton Township.
People have accused Dr. Aejaz of secretly photographing and making video recordings of patients in his care at those facilities, recording people in the changing rooms of a nearby swim school, and engaging in sexual misconduct with unconscious patients. Individuals who received treatment from Dr. Aejaz at any of these facilities within the aforementioned time periods may have grounds for a sexual violation civil suit, which the Phillips Law Group team can help to pursue.
Although the courts had not criminally convicted Dr. Aejaz on any charges as of July 2025, civil litigation may proceed against him separately from any criminal proceedings he may go through. Compensable damages in a sexual misconduct claim against Dr. Oumair Aejaz may include both economic and non-economic consequences of his abuse, including but not limited to:
The various medical facilities that employed Dr. Aejaz on a contract basis may also hold some liability for negligence if they failed to supervise him with patients or perhaps failed to act on previous allegations made against him. A qualified legal professional from Phillips Law Group can discuss who might be liable for damages in a particular situation during a private, no-obligation initial meeting.
For years, Dr. Oumair Aejaz allegedly took advantage of his position as a medical professional to systematically record and abuse patients in his care, many of whom were minor children as young as 2 years old. This kind of misconduct can serve as grounds for civil litigation in addition to criminal prosecution, and you do not necessarily have to wait until the latter type of case concludes to begin pursuing the former.
