DeBRULER, Justice,
dissenting.
This case was fairly tried and the jury fairly instructed in the court below, and the resulting judgment should be affirmed. While Instruction No. 4, the one properly objected to, comes close to the line of legitimacy relied upon in Conder v. Hull Lift Truck, Inc. (1982), Ind., 435 N.E.2d 10, it does not reach or transgress it. This case involves the trial of a strict liability claim against Clark alone with the negligence claim against Georgetown. This instruetion could be helpful in assuring that the jury maintain the greater burden upon the plaintiff as it deliberated upon the claim against Georgetown.
