Va. Model Jury Instr. Civ. No. 2.200
Effect of Defendant Admitting Liability
The defendant has admitted that he is liable for any injury the plaintiff received from the
accident. Therefore, the only issue that you have to decide is the amount of damages[, if any,] the
plaintiff is entitled to recover.
An admission of liability should not influence you in any way in considering the issue of
damages.
