Supreme Court of Delaware

Santosh Reddy, M.d., Defendant Below, Appellant v. the Pma Insurance Company and Cna Insurance Company A/s/o Harbor…

May 31, 20112011 Del. LEXIS 282

Summary

The Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed judgment against Dr. Reddy on Harbor Health's contribution claim. It held that the contribution action was governed by the general three-year limitations period, which accrued when Harbor Health paid its share of the underlying liability, rather than by the two-year medical-negligence period. The court also held that sufficient expert and record evidence supported the jury's finding that Dr. Reddy's negligence proximately caused the injury. No separate opinions were filed.
