A ruling handed down by the Georgia Court of Appeals could impact who plaintiffs can name as defendants in medical-malpractice complaints. The intermediate appellate court determined physicians may not be held vicariously liable for the conduct of physician assistants whom they supervise, reversing a DeKalb County State Court judge's opposing finding.

Now attorneys on either side of the underlying medical-malpractice case, Brian Zeh et al v. Caroe Maso et al, are sharing their reactions to the ruling that appellant counsel applaud and appellee counsel intend to challenge, in part.
