Question

Beth invited friends for a picnic and touch football game in her backyard. Roger, one of her guests, broke his ankle when his foot slipped into a hole as he ran out for a pass. Several malfunctioning sprinkler heads had been removed from the lawn for repairs, leaving dangerous, but hidden, holes. In common law, would Beth be liable to Roger for his injuries?

Answer 1

Answer:

In common law Beth would be liable to Roger's Injuries.

Explanation:

Because she exposed him to dangers. Without her removing the lawn he wouldn't have had the accident. She should have covered the dangerous holes, but since she did none of that she will be held responsible for Roger's Injury.
