1. Jocelyn worked in an office located in the Hall Professional Building. Jocelyn was exiting the building to go to lunch when she fell on the stairs leading from the front
entrance to the parking lot and was injured. Jocelyn's fall was caused by a loose brick in one of the stairs. The week before she fell Slate Construction had made
repairs to the stairs. The state applies the "not as great as" form of comparative fault with combined comparison. Joint and several liability also applies. Jocelyn
made claims against both Hall and Slate for her injury. Both refused to settle her claims so she filed suit against them. The jury determined that Jocelyn was 45% at
fault, that Hall was 15% at fault, and Slate was 40% at fault. The jury also determined that Jocelyn had sustained $60,000 in damages. What should Jocelyn
recover?
A. $33,000, because her fault was not as great as the defendants' combined fault.
B. $0, because her fault was greater than the fault of either defendant.
C. $60,000, because joint and several liability applies.
D. $60,000, because her fault was not as great as the defendants' combined fault.
