Tort "Reform" in Arizona: An Analysis of the Demise of Joint and Several Liability

Abstract

This Note addresses the unjust consequences created by the Arizona Legislature's practical abrogation of joint and several liability in 1988 through Section 12-2506 of the Arizona Revised Statutes Annotated. The author examines the following problems produced by the legislature's virtual abolition of joint and several liability in 1988: plaintiffs are now required to bear the entire burden of a tortfeasor's insolvency; significant inequities arise by naming immune employers and insurance carriers as nonparties at fault; and no exception has been made for cases of indivisible injury.
