This is one of the questions I'm doing for a case study for a law course:
- Person A holds a demonstration of its workings (tire manufacturing) for representatives of all its retailers
- Person A pays for all meals on Saturday (where the meeting takes place)
- Peson B (one of the retailers) stayed up all night partying in a bar on Friday and never slept
- Person B ate too much at Person A's lunch meeting and began to feel very light-headed and sleepy
- During the tour of Person A's plant, Person B wanders away from group and while close to one of the machines in an area that's NOT part of the tour, he got dizzy and began to faint, falling into the machine
- Person B's arm gets torn off
- Person B has to close his business because he was unable to find anyone to buy products from his retailer
- Person B used to earn 80k of profit from his business but now has to live on government disability pension which pays him about 15k
What issues are in this case study? I am guessing that person B going bankrupt and living on pension has nothing to do with him having an accident at Person A's plant. I am also thinking Person B breached the contract by wandering away from the group...? Could this be a tort of negligence on Person A's part? Can someone help?
All I'm asking is what concepts are involved in this issue...and I'm doing the rest.
