Alaska Civil Pattern Jury Instruction 3.02
Comparative Negligence
The defendant claims that the plaintiff's harm resulted, in whole or in part, from the plaintiff's own negligence.
In order to find that the plaintiff was negligent, you must decide it is more likely true than not true that:
(1) the plaintiff was negligent; and
(2) the plaintiff’s negligence was a substantial factor in causing the plaintiff's harm.
Instructions on the verdict form will tell you what to do if you decide that both the defendant and the plaintiff were negligent.
