What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New Jersey
My question is our family is currently involved with a medical malpractice case involving a Hospital and Rehabilitation Center that are not affiliated but are insured by the same company for there medical malpractice insurance.
My lawyer is involved with a possible settlement with them but seems to be a hold up with the attorney representing the Hospital and the attorney representing the Rehabilitation Center, they can not come to an agreement on who they feel holds greater responsibility in the settlement. My question of a possible conflict of interest is the Attorney Representing the Rehabilitation Center is also on the Board of Directors of the Hospital involved in this Lawsuit. Would that be considered a Conflict of Interest.
