CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SB 192 - This act provides that when the trier of fact determines in a products liability case that the harm was caused solely as a result of the plaintiff's fault then the defendant shall not be liable for the harm caused solely as a result of such fault. The definition of the term "fault" is modified to include the use of the product in a manner inconsistent with a specification or standard applicable to the product, use of the product in a manner contrary to an instruction or warning, and use of the product in a manner determined to be improper by a federal or state agency.
