    Question A: Likelihood of Kimberly’s claim being successful: With the central issue in Kimberly’s circumstance of being physically and mentally impaired due to the shutters of the Bed & Breakfast house flying off and as a result, hitting the plaintiff (Kimberly), there is a high possibility that Kimberly’s claim will succeed. As a result of Elle being aware that months after the shutters were installed, she noticed splinters in the wood and damage in some of the shutters but took no precautionary measures to ensure that the risk of harm was eliminated, Kimberly’s claim of negligence on behalf of Elle is likely to be successful. With revelation to Elle’s failure to eliminate the risk of harm, Elle’s lack of action to take reasonable care has…

    To be negligent, the condition of defendant’s property must present an unreasonable risk of harm to people on the property. Here, the puddle of water in the middle of the floor was not an unreasonable risk of harm because it was a thin puddle that was easily noticeable by anyone glancing around. However, the water was on a tile floor where there was customer traffic, making the area slippery when wet. There…

    As the defendant in a lawsuit alleging negligence, Jason Davis’ position looks bad. First off, as we know from our textbook, Fundamentals of Business Law, (Miller & Jentz, 2010) negligence is an unintentional tort. This means that Jason needn’t have malice towards the injured party nor intent to do harm. Plus, there is no argument that there was causation of fact; that is, Mr. Davis knocked down Ms. Esposito and had he not knocked her down there would have been no injury. Thus, the act was the proximate cause of the injury. A positive answer to the questions of causation of fact and proximate cause are required before a case for negligence can be brought. (ibid.) Though, his knocking Ms. Esposito to the ground was clearly accidental, the legal question is, did Jason act negligently? The facts, as we know them, are that Mr. Davis, “suddenly and without warning,” turned and ran into Ms. Esposito, knocking her down and causing her hip to be fractured. This looks very much like Mr. Davis did not perform the required duty of care in this incident that would allow him escape a charge of negligence. Duty of care, as defined by the freedictionary.com is, “a requirement that a person act toward others and the public with watchfulness,…
