2072 Where two or more insurers independently provide primary insurance on the same risk for which they are both liable to the same insured, the insurance carrier who pays the loss or defends a lawsuit against the insured is entitled to equitable contribution from the other insurer or insurers, without regard to principles of equitable subrogation; settlement by an insurer with the insured is not a bar to a separate action against that insurer by other insurers for equitable contribution or indemnity. CitationFIREMAN'S FUND v MARYLAND (Equitable Contribution) 65 CA4 1279 [See: Continental v Zurich 57 C2 27; Truck Ins Exch v. Superior Court 60 CA4 342; Herrick v Canadian 29 CA4 753, T/AT 11/94]
