An Alaska law states “To prevent accidents to motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians, all motorists must remain in their designated lane; any deviation across a double yellow line is a misdemeanor.”Chloe is driving safely down a two-lane highway at night. A child suddenly darts out in front of her. Chloe has seconds to react: if she remains in her lane and only brakes, she will hit the child. Seeing no traffic in the oncoming lane, Chloe swerves across the double yellow line. However, she hasn’t seen David, who is riding a bike on the shoulder. Chloe hits David, who suffers a broken leg. A highway patrol officer gives Chloe a ticket for driving on the wrong side of the road, but in traffic court, Chloe’s violation is excused. David sues Chloe for negligence. Go step by step to analyze whether David will be able to establish negligence per se.

David is driving 50 mph in a 35 mph zone. He doesn’t slow down to go around a corner, his car veers and strikes a mailbox, sending metal debris flying into Paul, a pedestrian, breaking his arm. While Paul is sitting on the sidewalk waiting for an ambulance, a stray cat runs by, trips over a loose wire on a nearby construction fence, and causes a heavy wooden sign to fall and crush Paul’s foot. Paul sues David for negligence for both injuries.Analyze each of the two injuries (broken arm, and crushed foot) for actual cause and proximate cause. State the issue, the rules, analyze each injury, and provide your conclusion for whether Paul’s claims will succeed for each injury.

In your answer, you may refer to each individual by the first letter of their name (for example, you may use “A” for Abby, etc. ). Analyze each individual (A, B, C, D, and E) only for the duty that they owed to V, the victim. One day, Abby is sitting in her darkened room, watching her favorite show.
