WMC-SA, Inc. v. ReadyLink, Inc. CA2/11
Defendant ReadyLink, Inc., is a staffing agency that agreed to provide temporary nurses to plaintiff Western Medical Center – Santa Ana (Western). The parties’ contract contained an indemnity agreement, in which ReadyLink agreed to indemnify and defend Western for any patient injuries caused by a ReadyLink nurse. Nonparty Daniel Stearns was injured in a car accident and taken to Western for surgery and recovery. Months after his hospitalization, Stearns sued Western for injuries allegedly arising from the postoperative care he received. One of his postoperative nurses, Suvarna Durgiah, was from ReadyLink. So, Western requested that ReadyLink indemnify it for the claim and provide a defense per the contract. ReadyLink refused both requests, and Western eventually settled with Stearns for $450,000.
