71.06. Jury Shall Assess Amount of Recovery, When

    When a verdict shall be found for the plaintiff in an action for the recovery of money only, the jury shall also assess the amount of recovery; so, also, if they find for the defendant in case of a counterclaim, crossclaim or other demand for money. A verdict shall meet the requirements of this rule if the jury returns a finding of the total amount of the damages and assesses percentages of fault. When exemplary or punitive damages are allowed by the jury, the amount thereof shall be separately stated in the verdict. When both damages for personal injuries and damages to property are allowed by the jury, the verdict shall state separately the amount allowed for the aggregate of the items of damage connected with the personal injury and the amount allowed for the aggregate of the items of damage connected with the injury to the property.
