Joint and Several Liability Limits:
The doctrine of joint and several liability is a fairness rule, developed over
centuries to protect injured consumers. It applies when more than one defendant
is found fully or substantially responsible for causing an injury or even death
to a consumer. For example, if one wrongdoer is insolvent or cannot pay their
share, the other fully-responsible wrongdoers must pay the bill, to make sure
the innocent victim is fully compensated.
Joint Liability: Liability which rests
upon more than one person.
Jurisdiction: A legal area, such as a
province or state.
