Notwithstanding anything in the worker's compensation law to the contrary, if the fault of the worker's employer or those for whom the employer is legally responsible, other than the injured worker, is found to have proximately caused the worker's injury, the employer's right to reimbursement from the proceeds of the worker's recovery in any action against any wrongdoer shall be diminished by the percentage of fault, if any, attributed to the employer or those for whom the employer is responsible, other than the injured worker.
