Description

66.810 Tort Damages; Apportionment of Damages When a case is filed against more than one person for injury to person or property and the plaintiff is, to some degree, responsible for the injury or damages claimed, the jury, in its determination of the total amount of damages to be awarded, if any, may apportion its award of damages among the persons who are liable and whose degree of fault is greater than that of the injured party. If apportioned by the jury as provided in this charge, damages shall be the responsibility of the person or persons against whom they are awarded only and shall not be a joint liability among the persons liable and shall not be subject to any right of contribution from another defendant. O.C.G.A. §51-12-33 (Note: This code section does not affect venue provisions regarding joint actions and applies only to causes of action arising on or after July 1, 1987.)
