106. If the jury determines that the man was 25% responsible and that each defendant was also 25% responsible, will the man be able to recover damages, and if so, how much from each defendant?

D is correct. Based on the rule provided, if the jury finds the man was 25% responsible, he cannot recover from any defendant. Each defendant's percentage of fault is taken individually, not in the aggregate. Thus, since each defendant was also 25% responsible—a percentage equal to the man's responsibility—the man cannot recover.

A is incorrect. The rule states that the man cannot recover against a defendant whose fault is less than or equal to his own. Each defendant's percentage of fault is considered individually and not aggregated among all defendants. If the jury finds the man was 25% responsible and that each defendant was also 25% responsible, the man cannot recover from any defendant.

B is incorrect. The rule states that the man cannot recover against a defendant whose fault is less than or equal to his own. Therefore, in addition to the owner and manufacturer, the man cannot recover from the customer since the man and all three defendants were each found to be 25% responsible.

C is incorrect. The man cannot recover any percentage from any defendant since none of the defendants were found to be more at fault than the man. Importantly, the fault of each defendant must be considered individually, not aggregated among the three defendants.
