Wang (Health Body World Supply, Inc. v.)

Summary

The court held that, in a single action involving a product liability claim and another claim arising from the same indivisible harm, the comparative-responsibility provisions apply to every responsible defendant, including a nonproduct seller. It also held that an independent contribution action is timely when filed within one year after all appellate proceedings in the underlying action have ended. The court therefore affirmed the judgment awarding the plaintiffs contribution based on the defendant's 20 percent responsibility.
