26. Unless found liable under section 22, a defendant that is required to pay health care costs or damages for injury following a judgment in an action under this Act may demand from the other defendants found liable in the same action their respective shares in those costs or damages, whether or not the defendant has paid all or only a part of its share in those costs or damages.

In that case, the court apportions liability among the defendants and determines each defendant’s contribution, considering, if the court deems it relevant, the factors listed in section 23.
