Wisholek v. Douglas
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION OF THE COURT
Pine, J.
In this case we are called upon to determine, inter alia, whether Public Health Law § 4410 (1) precludes a health maintenance organization (HMO) from being held vicariously liable for physical injuries to Barbara W.
