What are the requirements for a jury to interpret jury instructions in a personal injury case?

Defendant raises several challenges to the instructions given to the jury. In reviewing jury instructions, we consider the entire charge, not parts of an instruction or one particular instruction. (People v. Castillo (1997) 16 Cal.4th 1009, 1016.) Defendant must demonstrate a reasonable likelihood that the jury misunderstood the challenged instructions. (People v. Anderson (2007) 152 Cal.App.4th 919, 938.)

We examine each of defendant's claims.
