Is a plaintiff's claim that the proceeds of a medical malpractice action are nonassignable?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Dunne v. Dunne, G038922 (Cal. App. 6/18/2008), G038922. (Cal. App. 2008):
As to plaintiff's nonassignability contention, while it is true a right of action for personal injuries cannot be transferred or assigned (see Reichert v. General Ins. Co. (1968) 68 Cal.2d 822, 834), that is not what occurred in this case. Defendant claimed plaintiff agreed to equally share the proceeds of the medical malpractice action.
