Relevant factsFree

AMA (defendant) sought leave to cross-claim against an injured minor's parents for their alleged negligent supervision, seeking to have any damages against AMA reduced proportionally to the parents' allocable fault; the trial court denied leave, apparently reasoning that comparative negligence under Li v. Yellow Cab didn't allow this kind of proportional indemnity claim among joint tortfeasors.

IssueFree

Whether a concurrent tortfeasor may obtain partial indemnity from other concurrent tortfeasors on a comparative fault basis.
