Offering obedience to fraternity bullchit is root cause #1.

Louisiana article 2323 (comparative fault).
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.

I agree with this and no doubt Max initially participated, however IIRC they poured liquor down his barely conscious throat and didn't render aid when they should have? Did I remember this story right?

I think that would generate criminal charges at that point?

They aren't appealing shite because the defendants all settled before the trial.

Im looking for the details. Not 100% sure but do I remember them giving him liquor when he was helpless FUBAR and telling him it was water? It was a long time ago. They definitely had responsibility in getting his BAC to an astounding .495.
I'm good with the fraternity being sued...stupid enough to plan an event to haze kids with binging hard liquor. Make an expensive example out of that shite.

Got it.
So the trial verdict sets damages at $6.1M and declares that Isto was 2% at fault and thereby owes 2% of the $6.1M. My question was more to the order of things. Did Isto's attorneys/insurance carrier know going into trial that he would owe 2% of any damages awarded? Or was that decided at trial?

State cap. LSU isn’t a deep pocket here.

Found the verdict form. Everyone had settled except Ryan Isto. He was apportioned 2% liability. They can recover $122,000 on that judgment.
Defense verdict then.
I still think the kid bears the majority of the fault; he knew what he was getting into. All he had to do was walkaway.

Jury decided that. I bet the family had $250k in coverage plus an umbrella. I’m sure the kid’s family wanted limits so kudos to Allstate for telling them to go prove their case to a jury.

Gruver looks like he was transitioning
