I think it is 2 percent of $6.1 million.

Louisiana article 2323 (comparative fault).

I’ll look it up, but that’s what I heard.

Found the verdict form. Everyone had settled except Ryan Isto. He was apportioned 2% liability.

They can recover $122,000 on that judgment.

So, in a case such as this, the jury determines the family is to receive $6.1M from the various parties at fault. Do they then place a percentage owed by each person/entity at fault? Or is that done before hand? Concurrently?

Are they allowed to consider that the victim in the case may have been at fault, and if so, do they place a percentage on him/her as well to subtract from the final damages?

It seems like all of the various parties found to be at fault would all file separate appeals of the verdict as well as their percentage owed. Meaning years of deliberations and court filings.
