                                                            ______________________________________

                                                            Foreperson

USE NOTES

            The formal caption of the particular case will need to be added to the verdict form before it is submitted to the jury. Ample room should be provided for entry of the sum which the jury may enter and also ample room should be provided for the signature of the foreperson.  This form illustrates the type of verdict which can be used when the defendants are multiple and their liability is one and the same. This form of verdict can also be readily adapted for use with multiple plaintiffs such as cotenants against multiple defendants where the claims of the plaintiffs are joint and the liability of the defendants is the same.  This form of verdict can also be used in a joint tortfeasor situation when UJI damage instruction 13-1825 NMRA is used.
