Negligence of Attorney Is Not Imputed to Insurance Company Which Retained Attorney to Represent Insured

ADVERTISEMENTS

Feb. 6, 2009), held that the negligence of an attorney hired to represent an insured is not imputed to the insurance company which retained the attorney.  Because the insurance company could not control the professional judgment of the attorney, it could not be vicariously liable for the attorney's negligence in handling the matter.
