Description

Physician, who was alleged to have committed medical malpractice, filed an action against his malpractice insurer, the health care stabilization fund, and his attorneys and the attorneys' firm retained by the insurer to represent him. Physician claimed that the defendants had in bad faith settled the malpractice claim against him without informing him or obtaining his consent to the settlement. The district court granted each of the defendants' motions for dismissal and for summary judgment. Physician appeals the district court's orders: (1) dismissing the fund and the Commissioner of Insurance based on governmental immunity; (2) granting summary judgment to physician's attorneys and the attorneys' law firm, and (3) granting summary judgment in favor of the physician's liability insurance carrier regarding the physician's claim of negligent and wrongful settlement of the patient's malpractice claim. Physician's attorneys and the attorneys' law firm cross-appealed, claiming the district court erred in finding the attorneys had breached their duty to inform a client. The attorneys also argue that the physician's failure to set aside the settlement agreement pursuant to K.S.A. 60-260(b)(6) bars his claim.
