Bondy v. Allen

Bondy (plaintiff) was struck in a crosswalk by a car driven by Allen. A Gold Cross Ambulance (defendant) paramedic strapped her to a gurney, but while assessing her injuries en route removed some straps, causing her to fall off and suffer additional pain. Bondy sued Allen and Gold Cross for negligence. Allen settled with Bondy; Gold Cross then moved to exclude evidence of damages from the car accident. The trial court granted Gold Cross summary judgment, and Bondy appealed.

Whether joint and several liability applies where two entities, acting independently through consecutive acts of negligence, cause an indivisible harm to a plaintiff.
