How have the courts interpreted jury instructions in a personal injury trial?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Calway's Estate, In re, 16 Cal.Rptr. 462, 196 Cal.App.2d 268 (Cal. App. 1961):

Appellant argues that the court erred in its instructions to the jury and in refusing certain proffered instructions. Upon viewing the instructions as a whole, we conclude that there is no merit in these contentions (Scarano v. Schnoor, 158 Cal.App.2d 612, 323 P.2d 178, 68 A.L.R.2d 416).
