1. “At the retrial, the jury should be instructed (1) that both Mr. Viera and the defendant were negligent causes of Mr. Viera's death; (2) that it should determine whether Dade County was also a negligent cause of Mr. Viera's death; and (3) that, if it finds against the County on that issue, it should apportion the blame between Mr. Viera, the defendant, and the County. If at the retrial the jury should determine that Dade County was not a negligent cause of Mr. Viera's death, then the plaintiff's initial judgment against the defendant should be reinstated as of the date of its initial entry.”
