Modifies provisions relating to determinations of fault in tort actions

Summary

The bill changes Missouri’s tort law so that no defendant can be held jointly and severally liable simply because they are 51% or more at fault. Instead, each defendant would only owe damages proportional to their percentage of fault, and a plaintiff who is 51% or more at fault could not recover any damages. It also sets rules for calculating fault and damages and limits certain disclosures to the jury.
