Description
In American Motorcycle Assn. v. Superior Court (1978) 20 Cal. 3d 578 [146 Cal. Rptr. 182, 578 P.2d 899], our court explained that when a plaintiff's injury is proximately caused by the negligent acts of a number of joint tortfeasors, although each tortfeasor is "jointly and severally" liable for the injury, the plaintiff enjoys no right to single out only one or a few of the tortfeasors to bear all of the loss. We pointed out in this regard that a named defendant who has been so selected for suit has a right to pursue his own equitable indemnity action against an additional unnamed tortfeasor to obtain indemnity for any liability that should properly be borne by such additional tortfeasor.
