How have courts considered the challenge of a jury instruction in a personal injury case?

When we review such an argument, we ask whether there is a reasonable likelihood the jury misunderstood and misapplied the challenged instruction. (People v. Smithey (1999) 20 Cal.4th 936, 963.) Moreover, jury instructions are not considered in isolation but in the context of the entire charge and the arguments of the parties. (Id. at pp. 963-964; People v. Young (2005) 34 Cal.4th 1149, 1202.)
