3. A mоtоrist wаs in а fierce heаd-оn collision with another vehicle at an intersection. The other driver was negligent and caused the collision. The motorist sustained a fractured back along with a severe head injury that caused her to have brain damage and paraplegia. She was adjudicated incompetent and placed in a nursing home. A guardian was appointed for the motorist. The guardian sued the other driver and the manufacturer of the motorist’s automobile. The other driver settled early for his insurance policy’s maximum amount of $100,000.The case against the automaker then went to trial. The guardian’s claim was for strict liability in tort charging that the seats, dash and assist grip installed in motorist’s vehicle were defectively designed and unreasonably dangerous, causing the motorist enhanced injuries. The manufacturer claimed that it did not cause the accident and that it was not the cause of any enhanced injuries. It argued that the plaintiff had to prove precisely what injuries the motorist sustained that were caused by the manufacturer. Based on traditional tort law, what is the causation standard that the court will instruct the jury to use in its decision for “but for” or “actual” causation?
11. Three seven-yeаr-оld bоys crаwled thrоugh а hole in a fence at the end of a school playground, and entered an active railroad-switching yard. They climbed on top of a freight car and one of them was electrocuted by a high voltage wire. The fence they crawled through was owned and maintained by the local school district, which owned the playground. The railroad-switching yard was owned by a railroad company, Penn Central Co. The deceased boy’s father brought a wrongful death action against both the district and Penn Central Co. There were several holes in the fence that were used by kids to come and go from the railroad yard. There had been four prior incidents at the railroad yard where young children were electrocuted or seriously injured by high-tension wires. Both defendants filed motions to dismiss as a matter of law because the children were trespassers to whom they asserted that they owed no duty of care. The trial court agreed and dismissed the claim against both defendants. An appeal was filed. Will the appellate court affirm the dismissal?
