In a product liability action where liability is
assessed against more than one (1) defendant, a defendant is not liable
for more than the amount of fault, as determined under IC 34-20-8,
directly attributable to that defendant. A defendant in a product liability
action may not be held jointly liable for damages attributable to the
fault of another defendant.
