Where this section sits in the code
- Family Code - FAM
- DIVISION 4. RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS DURING MARRIAGE [700. - 1620.]
- PART 2. CHARACTERIZATION OF MARITAL PROPERTY [760. - 853.]
- CHAPTER 3. Damages for Injuries to Married Person [780. - 783.]
If a married person is injured by the negligent or wrongful act or omission of a person other than the married person’s spouse, the fact that the negligent or wrongful act or omission of the spouse of the injured person was a concurring cause of the injury is not a defense in an action brought by the injured person to recover damages for the injury except in cases where the concurring negligent or wrongful act or omission would be a defense if the marriage did not exist.
