RE: Clean Negligence Risks and Liabilities
1. Jack has a negligence claim against Client A. Injured parties should prove elements of negligence such as duty of care, breach of the duty of care, cause of harm due to the damages, and the specific harm for which the damages have to be recovered (Government Regulation and the Legal Environment of Business, 2012). Client A knew that a person was doing the cleaning. The client owed a duty of care to Jack. The boxes should not have been placed in the hallway since there was a person who was doing the cleaning. The client violated the duty of care, and this made Jack suffer the injury. Client A employee placed the boxes in the hallway. Even though it was the employee who placed the boxes in the hallway, Client A would be responsible because of vicarious liability. The employee was working for him. The employer would be liable for the damages done by their employees. Client A was supposed to identify any glitches that could cause injury to the workers.
2. One of the potential defenses that client A may raise in response to Jack’s negligence claim is that Jack contributed to the injury as he was also negligent. Client A might argue that Jack should have removed the boxes placed in the hallway.
3. Jack should prevail in the lawsuit. Jack will prevail in the lawsuit because the elements of negligence can be proved. Client A owed a duty of care, breached the duty of care and Jack suffered injuries due to the breach (Government Regulation and the Legal Environment of Business, 2012). Jack tripped over two boxes that had been placed in the hallway by Client A’s employee. His injury was due to the two boxes placed in the hallway. Client A owed a duty of care because Jack was cleaning his office building. Jack will prevail in the lawsuit and will be compensated for damages because Client A’s negligence resulted in his injury.
