UJI 13-1320. Duty to visitor; acts of third persons.
If an [owner] [occupant] breaches the duty to use ordinary care to keep the premises
safe for use by a visitor, resulting in injury to the visitor from the acts of a third person,
the [owner’s] [occupant’s] breach of duty is to be compared with the conduct of the third
person who actually caused the injury to the visitor [, as well as with the visitor’s own
fault,] in order to determine the [owner’s] [occupant’s] proportionate degree of fault. The
[owner’s] [occupant’s] duty to protect visitors arises from a foreseeable risk that a third
person will injure a visitor and, as the risk of danger increases, the amount of care to be
exercised by the [owner] [occupant] also increases. Therefore, the proportionate fault of
the [owner] [occupant] is not necessarily reduced by the increasingly wrongful conduct
of the third person.
