Introduction

The Factors

The factors are the negligence because of Davis colliding with an elderly lady of 80 years old, Esposito. Medical bills were given to Esposito because of her hip injury that occurred and it is now a permanent physical impairment. Davis is at fault for causing the accident. He didn’t pay attention to his surroundings causing Esposito to fall.

Tort of Negligence

The tort of negligence applies to the facts because the incident was an accident, it was not done purposely to cause harm to Esposito. It was simply an act of carelessness which caused Esposito to fall. Davis owes Esposito a duty for his act of negligence.

Protecting Future Customers

The storeowner should have had a warning sign for people to be careful, when rushing to get out of somewhere people tend to forget to be careful of their surroundings. They don’t pay attention to what they are doing and do not watch out for elderly or little children. Another way to prevent incidents like the one that Davis and Esposito had would make another exit for the elderly because they are easily harmed. They are fragile and not as alert as others. It would be much easier for them to have their own exit and prevent any other accidents from occurring in the future.

Conclusion

This paper explained what the accident was, what caused the accident, as well as who was harmed and who was responsible for negligence. Negligence is a careless act that people need to watch out for and be more careful in incidents like this. The storeowner can do many things to prevent this from happening again and hopefully it gets taken care of.
