Florida District Courts of Appeal
Texidor v. Bennett M. Lifter, Inc., 756 So. 2d 224 (2000)
2000 Fla. App. LEXIS 4779; 2000 WL 482843
Gersten, Goderich, Shevin
Texidor v. Bennett M. Lifter, Inc.
Opinion of the Court
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.
