““‘(3) If but one element of negligence is submitted to the jury and the court can find as a matter of law that the party inquired about in the question is guilty of causal negligence and the jury finds that he is not, and in answer to the question on comparative negligence attributes to Mm some degree of causal negligence, the court should change the answer to the question which inquires as to his conduct from “No” to “Yes” and permit the jury’s comparison to stand with judgment accordingly.’ ””
