Fla. Std. Jury Instr. (Civ.) 423.6
SEVERANCE DAMAGES
In determining the amount of full compensation that should be awarded to (owner), you must take into consideration the value of the property actually taken from (owner) and the damage, if any, to (owner’s) remaining property caused by the taking.
Damages to the remaining property of an owner are known as severance damages and may consist of the following:
a. Reduction in value because of the reduced size or shape of the remaining property.
b. Reduction in value because of the use to which (condemnor) intends to put the property actually taken.
c. Reduction in value caused by the change of grade between (owner’s) remaining property and the property actually taken.
d. Reduction in value because of a loss of access. Ease and facility of access to and from the property constitutes valuable property rights. (Owner) must be fully compensated for a destruction or substantial diminution of this access.
