Two or more parties liable to pay damages

If two or more producers are liable to pay damages for the same damage, they are liable jointly and severally. In the relationship of the parties liable to pay damages, liability in damages as well as the extent of compensation to be paid depend, unless otherwise specified, on the circumstances, in particular to what extent the damage is caused mainly by one or the other party; in all other cases, sections 421 to 425, section 426 (1) sentence 2 and section 426 (2) of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) apply.
