What is the proper language in a jury instruction in a personal injury case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Morales v. 22nd Dist. Agric. Ass'n, 1 Cal.App.5th 504, 206 Cal.Rptr.3d 1 (Cal. App. 2016):
The mere fact that language in a proposed jury instruction comes from case authority does not qualify it as a proper instruction. The admonition has been frequently stated that it is dangerous to frame an instruction upon isolated extracts from the opinions of the court. (Francis v. City & County of San Francisco (1955) 44 Cal.2d 335, 341, 282 P.2d 496.)
[206 Cal.Rptr.3d 19]
