Marston and Mendez

Answer:

1. What liability do the other six partners in this medical practice have in connection with this lawsuit?

Original LLP (limited liability partnership) statutes have protected the partners from the malpractice claim that is resulting from the negligence and malfeasance of a partner (What is Limited Liability Partnership, 2013). Such statutes have given protection against the professional malpractices while leaving the limited liability partnership; they are liable jointly as well as severally, for the other partnership debts, liabilities along with obligations. Additionally, under early limited liability partnership statutes, partners have continued for having contribution obligations when partner has indemnifications right against partnership (Limited Partnerships and Limited Liability Partnerships, 2013).

Until, six partners in this medical practice file for being diminished from lawsuit, they have joint and severally liability, to make the liability equal to offending party. This is due to when they are all member of LLP as well as ostensibly has a limited liability, through being a part of similar entity and through each partner; everyone is liable legally for mistakes of other doctor. 2. What factors will be important in determining the exact liability (if any) of these six doctors?

That is quite uncommon situation. There have been some factors, which would go in the liability:

If or not doctor had been the partner or the associate

When doctor had been the partner along with having individual oversight, this makes lesser probably, for which other doctors can be liable.

How to malpractice insurance has been structured

Based on if or not it has been a global policy and an individual, one can show a kind of influence, which any doctor can have on another. Certainly, when the doctor had actually his individual policy, this has been more probably, which he can be held liable.

Deep Pockets

This has been often wiser for the attorneys for suing the entire organization since the organization itself has extra money as well as assets other than the one doctor.

How patient had been listed with partnership

Whether this has been the sole client of doctor, less probably that another doctor have been liable, and whether this has been the office client, other than another doctors were having responsibility of overseeing every other and thus more probably they can be liable also for negligence.
