How does the jury decide who is at fault? What percentages of fault each party is responsible for? And most importantly, what damages are to be awarded to the plaintiff? Prior to the jury starting deliberations, the judge will charge or give instructions to the jury. Once such charge might address the issue of damages and could include the following directive:

Reasonable and Necessary Medical and Funeral Expenses.  You may award damages for the reasonable and necessary medical, funeral and burial expenses.  The plaintiff is entitled to recover the reasonable value of medical care and expenses incurred for the treatment of injuries sustained by the decedent as a result of the defendant’s negligence.  The plaintiff must prove that the expenses (he/she) claims were reasonably necessary and legally caused by the defendant’s negligence.
