Florida Appellate Court Finds That Third-Party Contribution Claims Are Obsolete |
September 13, 2009
Previously published on September 2009
A recent Florida case may have a dramatic impact on the way that defendants and defense counsel handle claims in which a third party may be partially or entirely liable for the claimant's damagers. See T & S Enterprises Handicap Accessibility Inc. v. Wink Industrial Maintenance and Repair, Inc., 34 Fla. L. Weekly D953 (Fla. 2d DCA May 13, 2009). The court in T & S answered the question of whether the right of contribution continues to exist following the 2006 statutory abolition of joint and several liability.
