Question Description
I’m working on a law question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
Case: Jose Pena and Joseph Antenucci were medical doctors who were partners in a medical practice. Both doctors treated Elaine Zuckerman during her pregnancy. Her son, Daniel Zuckerman, was born with severe physical problems.
Issue: Elaine, as Danielàmother and natural guardian, brought a medical malpractice suit against both doctors. The jury found that Pena was guilty of medical malpractice but that Antenucci was not. The amount of the verdict totaled $4 million. The trial court entered judgment against Pena but not against Antenucci. Plaintiff Zuckerman made a posttrial motion for judgment against both defendants.
Question: Is Antenucci jointly and severally liable for the medical malpractice of his partner, Pena?
