PA HB1436

Amends Section 7102 of Title 42 (Judiciary and Judicial Procedure) to modify Pennsylvania's comparative negligence rules for civil liability cases

When a plaintiff is found comparatively negligent, each defendant's liability becomes several (not joint), meaning each defendant pays only their apportioned share of damages

Creates a new exception allowing joint and several liability when the defendant is held liable for any portion of total damages AND the plaintiff is not found comparatively negligent

Plaintiffs without fault can collect the full judgment from any liable defendant; plaintiffs with some fault must collect separately from each defendant based on their assigned percentage

Takes effect 60 days after enactment
