activein force · 2026-08-20 – presentas-observed

If you must apportion damages among (1) pre-existing

injuries or conditions, (2) injuries caused by defendant(s), and

(3) later injuries, and you are unable to determine

apportionment by a preponderance of the evidence, you may make a

rough apportionment. If you are unable to make a rough

apportionment, then you must divide the damages equally among

the injuries or conditions.
