Inconsistent verdicts
Sec. 13. In actions brought under this chapter (or IC 34-4-33
before its repeal), whenever a jury returns verdicts in which the
ultimate amounts awarded are inconsistent with its determinations of
total damages and percentages of fault, the trial court shall:
(1) inform the jury of such inconsistencies;
(2) order the jury to resume deliberations to correct the
inconsistencies; and
(3) instruct the jury that the jury is at liberty to change any
portion or portions of the verdicts to correct the inconsistencies.
As added by P.L.1-1998, SEC.47.
