What is the law of equitable indemnity for a plaintiff in a personal injury case?

We hold that the ordinary rules of equitable indemnity apply here. Moreover, considerations of public policy buttress the principle that an attorney's duty of loyalty to his client should not be diminished by imputing to him legal obligations to the client's other advisors, be they attorneys or acting in some other capacity, unless such parties are clearly intended beneficiaries of the legal services being rendered. (See, e.g., Holland v. Thacher, supra, 199 Cal.App.3d at pp. 929-935, 245 Cal.Rptr. 247, which discusses public policy considerations.)
