Very creative by Dr. Wenkert's liability carrier (or more likely, her personal attorney) leaves the PA Guarenteee fund (or whomever) on the hook- gets her off the hook totally and leaves the collection up to the Plaintiff for 300 if she is absolved or 1 mil if pltf hits (which they did). Question: did Jury apportion liability as between defendents?
The way I remember it, PA was a 1% for J&S state, then it wasn't, then it was again so which law was this tried under?
