Joint Tortfeasors; require to identify in answer.

Summary

The bill would change Mississippi tort law so that a defendant must identify any other parties who share fault when answering a complaint. Failing to do so would forfeit the defendant’s right to allocate fault to those parties. The goal is to make responsibility clearer and ensure proper contribution among multiple wrongdoers.
