United States Sixth Circuit
BP EXPLORATION & OIL CO. v. MAINT. SERVS., INC., 01-3137/3194/4291
Under Ohio law, a setoff is not required when claims against a settling defendant, and the judgment against a non-settling defendant, involve different injuries. A contributory negligence defense was proper where plaintiff failed to test a fuel tank, thus contributing to injury caused by a leak in the tank.
