After receiving chаnge-оf-shift repоrt оn а cаrdiac step down unit, which patient should the nurse assess first?
Twо cо-plаintiffs in persоnаl injury lаwsuit hired Attorney Johnson to represent them. The litigation promised to become very complex, with multiple issues pertaining to liability and multiple potential defendants. Attorney Johnson had each client sign a detailed waiver of present/future conflicts of interest form and carefully explained specific types of conflicts that can arise between co-plaintiffs in tort litigation, such as indemnification claims, cross-claims, adversarial positions in response to counter-claims from defendants or third-party interveners, etc. In addition, Attorney Johnson encouraged both clients to consult with separate lawyers before consenting to conflicts, and both did so. Moreover, both plaintiffs were themselves lawyers and were very familiar with potential conflicts of interest that could arise from this common representation. Attorney Johnson reasonably believed that she would be able to provide competent and diligent representation to each affected client. As trial date approached, a counter-claim by one of defendants forced one plaintiff to file a cross-claim for indemnification against the other plaintiff that places each co-plaintiff in directly adverse positions. Will the written, informed consent to potential conflicts that each client signed be effective in this situation, so that Attorney Johnson does not have to withdraw from representation ?
