Joint & Several Liability - Can You Benefit from It?

In circumstances when more than one defendant is found to have contributed to a plaintiff's injury, the question may arise as to who is responsible for paying for the damages? Generally, a state will follow one of three approaches when distributing the financial liability of defendants.

If a state uses a system of joint liability, each defendant will be liable up to the total amount of the financial obligation. For instance, if a husband and wife are jointly liable for a debt, each person is responsible up to the full amount. In case the husband dies or declares bankrupt, the wife will be liable for the full amount. In contrast, in a state following a system of several liabilities, the defendants are only liable for their respective portion of the damages.

The legal concept of joint and several liability is different in that it creates a scenario where each defendant in a legal action (assuming there is more than one defendant) is responsible for the entire amount of damages being pursued by the plaintiff. This is irrespective of the fact that the individual share of damages actually caused by each defendant.

We also provide advice on Joint and several liability and debt advice. Thos who are in favour of Joint and Several Liability argue that this approach allows victims to be fully compensated, even if one of the defendants is unable to pay his or her share of the liability. Under joint and several liability, if one defendant is not able to pay, the other defendants will be liable for the entire judgment amount.

Liability insurance is a part of the general insurance system of risk transference. Individuals or companies which faced a common peril formed a group and created a self-help fund out of which to pay compensation should any member incur loss.

However, the modern system relies on dedicated carriers to offer protection against specified perils in consideration of a premium. Basically, liability insurance is designed to offer specific protection against third party claims, i.e., payment is not typically made to the insured, but rather to someone suffering loss who is not a party to the insurance contract.
