Carl J. Battaglia, M.d., P.a., and Tommy A. Polk, M.d., P.a., Petitioners v. Lisa Jones Alexander

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the professional associations were directly negligent, that they could be held jointly and severally liable, that the directed verdict for one physician did not foreclose liability against the associations, and that prejudgment interest must be calculated after applying settlement credits to past damages. It reversed the appellate court’s calculation of prejudgment interest and remanded for recalculation.
