Carole Maso v. Brian Zeh

Summary

The Court denied certiorari in a medical-malpractice action seeking to impose vicarious liability on a physician for a physician assistant’s alleged negligence. The concurring opinion explained that although the Physician Assistant Act may support a principal-agent theory in an appropriate case, the petition presented only whether the Act itself imposed vicarious liability, and the broader agency question was not properly before the Court. The concurrence agreed that further review should be denied while reserving the issue for a future case.
