"Deep Pockets" Liability
The legal doctrine of joint-and-several liability under which recovery can be sought from any of several codefendants based on ability to pay, rather than the degree of negligence. If A and B are jointly liable for an injury; A was 90 percent negligent and B was 10 percent negligent, but A has no assets; the claimant is permitted to reach into the "deep pockets" of B for the full amount of the award against A and B.
