The trial court committed reversible error by deviating from the standard jury instruction. We find that the instruction, as given, served to confuse or mislead the jury. See § 59.041, Fla. Stat. (1999); Florida Power & Light Co. v. McCollum, 140 So.2d 569 (Fla. 1962). Accordingly, we reverse and remand for a new trial with instructions to use the standard jury instructions without modification.

Reversed and remanded.
