§ 38.2-4404. Liability of participating providers.

A. Except for a plan established pursuant to § 38.2-4403, all participating providers in a plan shall be jointly and severally liable on all contracts made for the purposes of the plan by the organization as agent for them. Each contract may be executed and signed by their agent on their behalf. A contract so signed shall be binding on the participating providers and not on the agent.

B. Actions for breach of these contracts may be brought against the participating providers by naming the agent as the sole defendant. A judgment in favor of the plaintiff may be satisfied out of the assets of the legal services organization or out of the assets of each of the participating providers.

C. Each participating provider shall be liable for his own torts and not for the torts of any other participating provider or of the agent.
