Contribution refers to the dividing up of a plaintiff's damages between two, or multiple parties found liable. Between defendants: Multiple defendants may seek contribution from each other where the defendants are jointly sued. Often they are sued in tort, but it is not limited to tort.
Rule 94 supersedes the line of decisions holding that the plaintiff suing on an insurance policy is required to negative in his pleading the existence of any exceptions to general liability contained in the policy.
In the basic negligence rule that everyone must take "reasonable care" to avoid injury to others, reasonable care can vary with time and place and with the relationship between people, so that the same conduct might be considered negligent in one instance but not in another.
Contribution involves a situation where the defendants share liability for the plaintiff's damages. Indemnity involves a shifting of all liability from one defendant to another defendant.
This Rule says that a defendant is only responsible for the full amount of the plaintiff's damages if they are found to be more than 50 percent responsible for the accident. Otherwise, they are only responsible for an amount equal to their percentage of fault.

What is an affirmative defense? Affirmative defenses are reasons the defendant gives for why a plaintiff should not win. An affirmative defense can help you win the lawsuit even if what the plaintiff says is true. In Texas, defendants must assert affirmative defenses in their Answer at the beginning of their case.
While commonly used, failure to state a claim is not an affirmative defense.
It allows this regardless of your share of the fault. That means you could file a claim even if you're found to be 99% responsible for the accident. However, pure comparative negligence reduces your settlement by your degree of fault. For example, if you are 99% responsible, your settlement amount is reduced by 99%.
In contribution, the loss is allocated among tortfeasors by requiring them to pay a proportionate share of the loss to one who has discharged their joint liability, while in indemnity the party held legally liable shifts the entire loss to another.
If two drivers both break the same traffic laws in an accident, then both may be denied their claims. Many insurance carriers assign blame between drivers on a percentage basis, such as 70/30. If two parties are involved in a car accident, the insurers use comparative negligence to assign fault.
