Steven Young, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Richard S. Latta, D.O., Defendant-Respondent, and Carmen Alameno, M.D…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that a non‑settling defendant is entitled to a credit reflecting the settling defendant's fault even when no cross‑claim for contribution is filed, and affirmed the trial court's judgment. The Court affirmed that the plaintiff received adequate notice and was not prejudiced by the jury's allocation of fault, and it recommended amendment of the Rules of Court to reflect this holding.
