MARY L. ENGLE, Plaintiff and Appellant, v. HAROLD ENDLICH, Defendant and Respondent. Procedural and Factual Statement On June 26, 1986, plaintiff filed a complaint against defendants Coast Elevator Company (Coast) and Dr. Harold Endlich (Endlich) for recovery of damages for personal injuries allegedly sustained on July 1, 1985. It found that the settling defendant, Coast, was free of negligence but that Endlich and Hospital were each 50 percent negligent. On June 21, 1990, following a hearing, the court granted the motion of Endlich for reduction of the judgment in the amount of the workers' compensation lien. These sums were deducted from the $802,851 jury award to determine the net amount due on the judgment from Endlich.
