Before the judge gives your case to the jury to begin deliberations after your case is concluded, the judge will provide the jury with "charges" that will instruct the jury as to how they are to apply the law to the facts of our case so they can reach a verdict. There are two major issues that must be decided by the jury: (1) Liability, that is who is at fault and in what percentage of fault for each individual; and (2) What are the damages, if any, that are to be awarded. As to the issue of Liability, an appropriate jury charge might be:
3.1-4 Proximate Cause (Substantial Factor)-Revised to January 1, 2008: Negligence is a substantial factor in bringing about an injury if it contributes materially to the production of the injury. Negligence contributes materially to the production of an injury if its causative effects remain in active operation until the moment of injury, or at least until the setting in motion of the final active injurious force which immediately produces or precedes the injury. By this definition of negligence, which makes only a remote, a trivial or an inconsequential contribution to the production of an injury, is not a substantial factor in bringing about the injury, and thus is not a proximate cause of the injury.
