MUJI 2d CV203
"Negligence" defined. Person with disability.
You must decide whether [names of persons on the verdict form] were negligent.
Negligence means that a person did not use reasonable care. We all have a duty to use reasonable care to avoid injuring others. Reasonable care is simply what a reasonably careful person would do in a similar situation. A person may be negligent in acting or in failing to act.
[Name of person] has a physical disability. A person with a physical disability is held to the same standard of care as a person without that disability. However, you may consider [name of person]'s disability among all of the other circumstances when deciding whether [his] conduct was reasonable. In other words, a physically disabled person must use the care that a reasonable person with a similar disability would use in a similar situation.
The amount of care that is reasonable depends upon the situation. Ordinary circumstances do not require extraordinary caution. But some situations require more care because a reasonably careful person would understand that more danger is involved.
