Starnes v. Nucho CA2/8
Tracy Starnes and her four children sued Ramsay Nucho, M.D., Darren Hodgins, M.D., and Surgical Multispecialties Medical Group, alleging a cause of action for the wrongful death of Michael Starnes from medical malpractice during surgery. Dr. Nucho, Dr. Hodgins, and their medical group filed a joint motion for summary judgment, with the doctors invoking the “Good Samaritan Law” (see Bus. & Prof., § 2396), and their group arguing that, absent liability on the doctors’ part, it could have no vicarious liability as their principal. The trial court granted the defendants’ motion. The Starnes family appeals; we affirm.
