EFFECT OF RELEASE OF ONE TORTFEASOR ON HIS LIABILITY FOR
CONTRIBUTION TO OTHERS -- LIMITS ON APPLICATION OF SECTION. A release by the
injured person of one (1) joint tortfeasor does not relieve him from liability
to make contribution to another joint tortfeasor unless the release is given
before the right of the other tortfeasor to secure a money judgment for
contribution has accrued, and provides for a reduction, to the extent of the
pro rata share of the released tortfeasor, of the injured person's damages
recoverable against all the other tortfeasors. This section shall apply only
if the issue of proportionate fault is litigated between joint tortfeasors in
the same action.
