Burden of Proof: Ordinary: Compensatory Damages
In considering the amount to be inserted by you in answer to each damage question,
the burden rests upon each person claiming damages to convince you by the greater weight of
the credible evidence, to a reasonable certainty, that the person sustained damages (with
respect to the element or elements mentioned in the question) and the amount of the damages.
The amount you insert should reasonably compensate the person named in the
question for the damages from the (accident) (occurrence.)

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
