apportionment

Question 1

join and several liability

Answer 1

any tortfeasor found to have been a cause of π’s harm can be liable to the π for all compensable harm- after that the ∆ that had to pay, burden is on them to file separate suits to collect from other tortfeasors for their portions

Question 2

Contribution

Answer 2

One tortfeasor has the right to collect from joint tortfeasors when one tortfeasor has paid more than their proportional share- under joint and several liability

Question 3

One satisfaction rule

Answer 3

A π who has received full satisfaction of a tort judgement for one harm cannot continue to recover against other joint tortfeasors for that harm (cant sue one, recover for everything, and then go after others- only ∆ can)

Question 4

several liability

Answer 4

Tortfeasor only liable for their portion of fault that led to π’s harm- if they think a non party is a fault, they can say nonparty contributed as an affirmative defense
