What is Joint and Several Liability

The video tutorial explains joint liability, where multiple tortfeasors are held liable for damages to a plaintiff. It discusses how liability can be distributed in different proportions, such as 50-50 or 70-30, and highlights the plaintiff's right to recover the full amount from any liable party. The tutorial also covers the defendants' responsibility to seek contribution from each other and the implications for judgment collection, especially when a defendant is judgment-proof.
