If a client sues both the contractor and the design professional, and settles or obtains a judgment against the contractor, how might this be of benefit to the design professional?

What will be an ideal response?


Since the owner may only recover once for its injury, if the contractor and
architect were sued for the same injury to the client, any recovery against
the contractor would be subtracted from the client’s further recovery (if
any) against the design professional.
