If you fnd that any of the Plaintifs failed at the time of the accident to exercise such reasonable care, and if you further fnd that such failure, if any, was the sole and proximate cause of the accident and any resulting injuries, then your verdict must be for the Defendants,       ,       and       . If you fnd any such failure to exercise reasonable care on the part of Plaintifs,       ,       and       , and if you further fnd such failure, if any, was a proximate contributing cause of the accident and any resulting injuries, then even if you return a verdict for any of the Plaintifs, a verdict for any of the Plaintifs under these circumstances must be reduced in proportion to such proximate contributing negligence, if any, so found on the part of each Plaintif. You should separately consider the claims of each Plaintif and each Plaintiffs conduct in determining whether, under this instruction, you fnd for each Plaintif and the extent of each Plaintiffs contributing negligence, if any. The standard of care applicable to       , a minor, for purposes of this instruction is that standard of care which an ordinary, reasonable person of like age and experience would use under similar circumstances as the circumstances existed at the time of the accident.
