Following a trial where the non-settling defendant was found 100% liable, the court determined the full indemnity costs to be deducted from a $150,000 all-inclusive Pierringer settlement paid by the settling defendant.
The court allocated 25% of general fees and disbursements plus 100% of certain liability-specific disbursements to the settling defendant, resulting in a deduction of $74,934.33 from the settlement amount before applying the remainder to offset the jury's damage award.
