A quick definition of consecutive tortfeasors:

Term: Consecutive Tortfeasors

Definition: Consecutive tortfeasors are people who commit a wrongful act or negligence that causes harm or injury to another person, one after the other. A tortfeasor is someone who is responsible for committing a tort, which is a civil wrong that causes harm or loss to someone else. When multiple tortfeasors cause harm to someone, they are considered consecutive tortfeasors. This means that each person is responsible for their own actions that led to the harm, and they can be held accountable for their share of the damages caused.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Consecutive tortfeasors are individuals or entities who commit separate acts of negligence that contribute to the same injury or harm.

Example: A driver runs a red light and hits a pedestrian, causing serious injuries. While the pedestrian is being transported to the hospital, the ambulance driver also drives recklessly and causes further harm to the pedestrian. In this scenario, both the driver and the ambulance driver are consecutive tortfeasors because they both contributed to the same injury.

Explanation: Consecutive tortfeasors are important in determining liability and damages in personal injury cases. In the example given, both the driver and the ambulance driver can be held responsible for the harm caused to the pedestrian. The concept of consecutive tortfeasors allows for multiple parties to be held accountable for their actions that led to the injury or harm.
