48-249-1119. Liability.

(a)  Individual professional liability.  Each individual who renders professional services as a member, holder of financial rights, director, manager, officer, employee or other agent of a domestic or foreign PLLC is liable for such person's own negligent or wrongful acts or omissions, to the same extent as if the person rendered the services as a sole practitioner. A member, holder of financial rights, director, manager, officer, employee or other agent of a domestic or foreign PLLC is not liable, however, for the conduct of other members, holders of financial rights, directors, managers, officers, employees or agents of the PLLC, unless such person is also at fault.

(b)  PLLC professional liability.  A domestic or foreign PLLC whose members, holders of financial rights, directors, managers, officers, employees or other agents perform professional services within the scope of their employment, or of their apparent authority to act for the domestic or foreign PLLC, is liable to the same extent as such members, holders of financial rights, directors, managers, officers, employees or other agents.

(c)  General limited liability.  Except as otherwise provided by this part, the personal liability of a member, holder of financial rights, director, manager, officer, employee, or other agent of a domestic or foreign PLLC, is no greater, in any respect, than the liability of a member, holder of financial rights, director, manager, officer, employee or other agent of an LLC formed under this chapter.
