    State Statute 101 Case Study

    In order to determine the role of DD’s violation of the statute in the car accident the three-part negligence per se test must be applied to determine if . The three elements of the negligence per se test: whether the statute protects a class of individuals of which the Plaintiff is a member, protects against harm of the sort that the Plaintiff suffered, is an appropriate standard for use in the case. Applying this statute to the case it can be determined that the statute was created to protect the class of individuals such as the hitchhiker, i.e. passengers in other vehicles while DD was driving on the road in a tractor trailer truck which he was not licensed to drive. The state statute 101 was not created to prevent the type of harm that was suffered by the Plaintiff, the hitchhiker’s injury was caused by FF’s rear-ending DD and not by DD driving a tractor trailer truck. This is also not the appropriate standard for use in this case because the harm was not the result of violation of the standard. Therefore, the reasonable person standard should be applied instead of negligence per…
