Conn. Civ. Jury Instr. 3.6-4
Reasonable Care
In determining the care that a reasonably prudent person would use in the same circumstances,
you should consider all of the circumstances which were known or should have been known to
the defendant at the time of the conduct in question. Whether care is reasonable depends upon
the dangers that a reasonable person would perceive in those circumstances. It is common sense
that the more dangerous the circumstances, the greater the care that ought to be exercised.
