Homer's negligence caused an automobile accident with Bart. As a result of the collision, Bart's car collides with a telephone p

ole, causing it to fall. The falling pole then takes out some electrical power lines. The resulting power outage leaves Patty without any light in her apartment. As she fumbles in the darkness, she trips over her cat, falls, and is injured. Patty sues Homer. In order to avoid liability, Homer's best defense is that:
a. there is no actual cause between the negligence and the injury.
b. there is no proximate cause between the breach of duty and the injury.
c. Bart's car was the one that collided with the telephone pole.
d. the electrical power lines should not have have fallen under the force of a car.

Answer:

B. there is no proximate cause between the breach of duty and the injury.

Explanation:

In law, proximate cause is a situation when the action of the defendant is directly causing the negative situation that happened to the other party.

From the case above, Homer could try to argue to the judge/juries that the reason why Patty tripped is because of her cat rather than his crash.

The judge and juries can either agree or disagree with homer depending on their personal outlook of the situation. But nevertheless, it's the best defense that Homer has.

Please if this is for school don't use my exact words change them a little. Use a thesaurus. Other than that I give the right for you to use this. Just don't want you to get in trouble.


The Civil War was a fight against America itself. Yes it was a war against ourselves. The north and south disagreed on several different things. The north wanted to stay together and the south wanted freedom from the north. In the personal opinions of southern people we believe that we fought harder, we cared more, and we should've won. Even though the loss was unfortunate some of us still have our southern pride and wish we had won to this day.


Hope this helps.

vladimir1956 [14]
The popular idea that terminally ill and bereaved people go through predictable stages, such as denial, anger, and so forth "is not supposed by research studies".

The five stages of dying are;denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance.These stages start when the patient is first known of a terminal ailment. While Kubler-Ross trusted this to be general, there is a considerable amount of space for singular variety. Not every person experiences each stage and the order of the stages might be distinctive for every individual.
