Alexander TEXIDOR, Appellant, v. BENNETT M. LIFTER, INC., a Florida Corporation, Appellee.
    No. 3D98-2192.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    April 26, 2000.
    Ginsberg & Schwartz, and Todd R. Schwartz, Miami; Alan R. Soven, Miami, for appellant.
    Mark Wolin, Miami; and Nancy Little Hoffmann (Pompano Beach), for appellee.
    Before GERSTEN, GODERICH, and SHEVIN, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

The trial court committed reversible error by deviating from the standard jury instruction. We find that the instruction, as given, served to confuse or mislead the jury. See § 59.041, Fla. Stat. (1999); Florida Power & Light Co. v. McCollum, 140 So.2d 569 (Fla.1962). Accordingly, we reverse and remand for a new trial with instructions to use the standard jury instructions without modification.

Reversed and remanded.
