PLAINTIFF'S AMENDED REQUESTED JURY INSTRUCTION NO. 1 Modified Ninth Circuit Model Jury Instruction 7.1 and 7.2 (combined in accordance with Model Instruction 7.1) 7.1 Damages--Proof. 7.2 Measures of Types of Damages. It is the duty of the Court to instruct you about the measure of damages. By instructing you on damages, the Court does not mean to suggest for which party your verdict should be rendered. If you find for the plaintiff, you must determine the plaintiff's damages. The plaintiff has the burden of proving damages by a preponderance of the evidence. Damages means the amount of money which will reasonably and fairly compensate the plaintiff for any injury you find was caused by the defendant. In determining the measure of damages, you should consider: The nature and extent of the injuries; The mental, physical and emotional pain and suffering experienced. You may not consider or assess either past or future lost wages experienced by Mrs. Pappas in calculating damages because, under the law, those categories of damages are for the Court to assess, if you find in the plaintiff's favor. The plaintiff has the burden of proving damages by a preponderance of the evidence, and it is for you to determine what damages, if any, have been proved. Your award must be based upon evidence and not upon speculation, guesswork or conjecture.
