UJI 13-1404. Ordinary care.
Ordinary care is that care which a reasonably prudent supplier would use in the
conduct of the supplier’s business. What constitutes ordinary care varies with the
likelihood of an injury occurring and the seriousness of the harm which could reasonably
be expected. As the danger that should be foreseen increases, so the amount of care
required also increases.
The question in this case is whether, considering all of the circumstances, the risk of
injury was foreseeable to, and would have been avoided by, a reasonably prudent
supplier.
