2.__Reduce recovery.__When fault of the plaintiff is less than that of the other parties, the plaintiff's recovery must be reduced to the extent that is just and equitable having regard to the plaintiff's share of fault for the harm.

3.__Failure to mitigate.__The plaintiff's failure to mitigate damages after a wrong has occurred is not contributory fault; but such failure may reduce the total damages that plaintiff can claim were proximately caused by those found liable for the initial harm.

§183.__Procedure for reduction

1.__Reduction procedure.__When the plaintiff is entitled to a recovery that is reduced for contributory fault, the trier of fact shall, unless otherwise agreed by all parties:

A.__Find the total damages that the plaintiff would be entitled to recover if contributory fault were disregarded;

B.__Reduce the total damages by dollars and cents to an amount considered just and equitable, having regard to the plaintiff's share of fault; and

C.__Return both amounts with the knowledge that the lesser figure is the final verdict.

§184.__Joint and several liability; findings

When 2 or more defendants are found liable upon the same indivisible claim for the same harm, each is jointly and severally liable to the plaintiff for the full amount of the plaintiff's recovery.__Upon timely request of any party, the trier of fact shall find in percentage terms the equitable share of fault contributed by each tortfeasor.__When the liability of one party is purely vicarious to that of another or when justice otherwise requires, the court may determine that 2 or more parties are to be treated as one.

§185.__Right of contribution

1.__Existence of the right.__Except as otherwise stated in this section, when 2 or more parties are at fault for causing the same harm to the same plaintiff, there is a right of contribution among them, even though judgment has not been recovered against all or any of them.
