COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE — ONE DEFENDANT — DIRECTIONS
COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE — ONE DEFENDANT — DIRECTIONS
If you find from the evidence that [Plaintiff] was negligent and that [his/her] own
negligence contributed to [his/her] injury and that [Defendant] was negligent and that
[his/her] negligence also contributed to [Plaintiff's] injury , then you must determine the
degree of [Plaintiff's] negligence that contributed to [his/her] injury and the degree of
[Defendant's] negligence that contributed to [Plaintiff's] injury. If you find that the
degree of negligence of [Plaintiff] was greater than the degree of negligence of
[Defendant], then [Plaintiff] is not entitled to recover. However, if you find that
[Plaintiff] was negligent, but that the degree of negligence of [Plaintiff] was equal to or
less than that of [Defendant], then [Plaintiff] is entitled to recover, but not the full amount
of [his/her] damages. [Plaintiff's] damages, if any, should in the latter case be reduced in
proportion to the degree of [Plaintiff's] negligence.
