: Illinois Medical Malpractice BlogCase Law Update: Vicarious Liability in Medical Malpractice
By Steven M. Levin and John J. Perconti
Contribution/Indemnity Marion Hospital Corporation v. Sterling Emergency Services of Illinois, No. 5-07-0703 (7/23/09) reversed the original decision stating that the hospital sued Emergency Services Providers claiming "express indemnity" to recover for settlement paid by Hospital in separate suit in another county. Trial court erred in dismissing with prejudice Hospital's complaint as barred by Contribution Act; trial court reasoned that it sought relief for contribution or partial indemnity.
