Abstract

The article discusses the court case D'Amario v. Ford, wherein the court decided that the jury should be permitted to apportion fault to each entity that caused the plaintiff's injuries, in consistent with F.S. 768.81. It presents the public policy and economic considerations that demonstrate the immediate need for judicial and legislative action to eliminate D'Amario's adverse consequences from the tort law of Florida. It also analyzes the judicial legacy of the D'Amario decision.
