UJI 13-1603. Ordinary care.
“Ordinary care” is that care which a reasonably prudent person would use in the
conduct of the person’s own affairs. What constitutes “ordinary care” varies with the
nature of what is being done.
As the risk of danger that should reasonably be foreseen increases, the amount of
care required also increases. In deciding whether ordinary care has been used, the
conduct in question must be considered in the light of all the surrounding
circumstances.
