The issue is whether Lion’s Paint Shop owes any legal duty of care to Mr. Newhouse to ensure his safety from unreasonable risk of harm caused by dangerous conditions while on the premises of the paint store. In order to provide adequate information to support Mr. Newhouse’s case, we must determine whether Mr. Newhouse have alleged facts sufficient to state a claim for fault, gross negligence, or willful and wanton misconduct on the store’s part to recover damages for his injuries as a result of his slip and fall incident on Lion’s Paint Store premises. Under Mich. Comp. Laws Ann. § 600.6304(8), when a breach of legal duty exists, the defendant is at “fault” and can be liable for negligence under duty of care based upon the status of the claimant

An Oregon man is charged with connections to killing his girlfriend, after he threw her off a cliff that measures 100 foot eight years ago, has entered a plea of not guilty as he was a criminally negligent homicide and coercion in her death, according to PEOPLE.

It is the government’s ordained and foremost right to provide its citizens with reliable protection and security, especially in the face of an emergency. However, the government’s failure to provide equitable care, causing damage, injury, or death, results in legal negligence, or a person not acting to their given standard resulting in damage. In the case of Riss v. The City of New York, Linda Riss experienced negligent conduct from the New York City police department when, after she was repeatedly threatened by a rejected suitor, they did nothing to protect her until after she was mutilated with acid. With protection and ongoing investigation, Riss would have been kept safe under the responsibility that the police failed to adhere to.

‘“Occupier of the premises (defendant) owes the same duty of care, the common duty of care to all visitors”

Additionally, to determine reasonable care, it must be determined if an unsafe condition existed. Jury Instructions: 35. Reasonable care can be determined by the length of time an unsafe condition has existed. Id. Length of time can be considered by a “just spilled” drink. An owner is liable if a drink “just spilled” when it is reasonably foreseeable a spill would occur in a shop that retails drinks, but an owner is not liable for spill that “just spilled” in a shop that does not sell beverages because it is not reasonably foreseeable that a spill would occur. See Owens v. Coffee Corner; see also Chad v. Bill’s Camera Shop. In Chad v. Bill’s Camera Shop, the court held that a spill in a camera shop is not an unreasonable risk because the camera shop did not sell drinks to spill. This is analogous to the present case. Here, the defendant did not sell drinks in the store, the store sold toys. Thus, it would not be foreseeable that the toy store

According to question three, Tuckman claims there 4 stages all groups go through, and the Carl Hayden robotics team is no exception. The first stage is forming. The group formed for many different reasons, a few including, Dr. Cameron was drawn into the group via attraction to group goals. Oscar needed someone to sponsor the group who had experience in engineering. Oscar successfully recruited Christian through interpersonal attraction. Luiz joined simply for the fact of fun. Lorenzo joined for the most unique reason, because he had to. His forming story falls under the “miscellaneous” needs as he was simply trying to clean his record.

Officer Grieve had the right to walk on Dr. Drake’s property, but Dr. Drake failed to provide a safe environment for his customers and guests to walk on

Therefore, government official can be held liable under civil law if he or she has reason to believe or is involved in harming others and fails to protect or prevent injury or damages in the given situation. As a result, there are three concepts as it relates to duty of care called: proximate cause, safe facilities, and persons in custody. According to Peak (2012), proximate cause relates to whether or not the officers conduct caused the

“In the majority of cases that come before the courts, whether the defendant owes the plaintiff a duty of care can be determined from precedent created by earlier cases; for example manufacturers of goods owe a duty of care to consumers, motorist owe a duty of care to other road users, boat captains owe a duty of care to their passengers, teacher owe a duty of care to their students, occupier owe a duty of care to persons who come on to their property. . (Andy Gibson, Douglas Fraser, Business Law 5th edition, Pearson 2011 page No.165, 166 and 169).”

The court determines a person is negligent when they fail to comply with their duty and when their conduct falls below the standard of care. The standard of care in negligence is established by the law to protect others against the unreasonable risk of harm. The risk must be foreseeable. Pennsylvania courts determine a party’s standard of care by examining what a reasonable person would do under similar circumstances. A reasonable person would also consider industry standards, historical information, and other guiding information when making decisions. This will allow the party to be on “notice”. With regarding notice, the question that should be asked is “do the facts, circumstances, or history inform you of potential harm.”. One way to determine whether or not someone is a reasonably prudent person is to use a formula—Burden < Probability * Injury. The formula is designed to weigh out the Burden of adequate precautions against the probability of the action occurring and the gravity of the resulting injury. If the Probability of the Injury of the injury and the level of the injury is higher than the Burden, then the party will be found negligent.

There are three elements that must be present for an act or omission to be negligent; (1) The defendant owed a duty of care towards the plaintiff; (2) The defendant breached the duty of care by an act or omission; (3) The plaintiff must suffer damage as a result - be it physical, emotional or financial. The court might decide that Freddy (the plaintiff) was owed a duty of care by Elvis (the defendant) if they find that what happened to Freddy was in the realm of reasonable forseeability - any harm that could be caused to a 'neighbour' by Elvis' actions that he could reasonably have expected to happen. The 'neighbour principle' was established in the case of Donoghue v. Stevenson (1932).

There have been some successful attempts to address violence in the area of tort law, or civil wrongs. Actions for negligence have been brought in cases where the defendants have breached their duty to protect women at foreseeable risk of violence. Examples include an action against the police for failing to protect women against a known rapist and actions against landlords for failure to protect tenants from rape and other forms of assault. Negligence actions are potentially available against any body or person with a responsibility to protect the community or provide a safe environment, for example, a school or university, an occupier of a public building, or perhaps a local government authority with responsibility for street lighting. The tort of trespass to the person, which includes assault and battery, has also been used directly against perpetrators.

Lacon [1966] case, the claimant’s husband died while they were staying at a public house.He fell down from the stairs which was steep and narrow and also there was no bulb in the light.An action was brought under the The Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957 against the defendant.It was held in this case that the occupier is under legal liability to provide a duty of care towards persons who lawfully came to the premises.And if it has failed in his duty,then they are liable to the visitor who has suffered damages because of their failure of
