They may need to be modified depending on the facts of the case.<\/p>\n<p>If the defendant alleges that the representations referred to in question 1 were opinions only, additional questions may be required on this issue. See\u00a0CACI No. 1904,\u00a0<span class=\"SS_it\" data-housestyle=\"EMPHASIS_it\">Opinions as Statements of Fact<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>If specificity is not required, users do not have to itemize all the damages listed in question 7. The breakdown is optional depending on the circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>If there are multiple causes of action, users may wish to combine the individual forms into one form. However, if both negligent misrepresentation and intentional misrepresentation (see\u00a0CACI No. 1903) are to be presented to the jury in the alternative, the preferred practice would seem to be that this verdict form and VF-1900,\u00a0<span class=\"SS_it\" data-housestyle=\"EMPHASIS_it\">Intentional Misrepresentation<\/span>, be kept separate and presented in the alternative. If different damages are recoverable on different causes of action, replace the damages tables in all of the verdict forms with\u00a0CACI No. VF-3920,\u00a0<span class=\"SS_it\" data-housestyle=\"EMPHASIS_it\">Damages on Multiple Legal Theories<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>With respect to the same misrepresentation, question 3 above cannot be answered \u201cno\u201d and question 2 of VF-1900 cannot also be answered \u201cyes.\u201d The jury may continue to answer the next question from one form or the other, but not both.<\/p>\n<p>If both intentional and negligent misrepresentation are before the jury, it is important to distinguish between a statement made without reasonable grounds for believing it is true (see question 3 above) and one made recklessly and without regard for the truth (see\u00a0CACI No. VF-1900, question 2). Include question 2 to clarify that the difference is that for negligent misrepresentation, the defendant honestly believes that the statement is true.
