Travelers Indemnity Co. v. Stengel, PICS Case No. 11-4730 (E.D. Pa. Dec. 23, 2011) Tucker, J. (20 pages).
An insurance company could not seek contribution from defendants, who represented clients in federal case, for the amount it paid to settle a legal malpractice claim brought by the clients against counsel in a subsequent, related state case where defendants could not be considered joint tortfeasors and were not a proximate cause of the judgment entered against the clients in the state action. Defendants’ motions for summary judgment granted.
