Description
Plaintiff brought a medical malpractice complaint against Ronald Bernstein, a neurosurgeon, his professional corporation, Desert Neurosurgery, Joseph Marcinkowski, an anesthesiologist, and Tucson General Hospital. Tucson General and Marcinkowski settled the claim for $700,000 each and the case proceeded to trial against Bernstein and his corporation. The jury found plaintiffs damages to be $1,965,000 and the degree of fault to be 47% for Bernstein, 28% for Marcinkowski, and 25% for Tucson General Hospital. The question then arose whether under A.R.S. § 12-2504 the amount Bernstein had to pay should be reduced by the amount of the pre-existing settlements. The trial court held that it should and thus entered a judgment for $565,000 rather than for $923,550 (47% of $1,965,000). This appeal followed. We reverse.
