Answer 1

Answer: Other Engineers

Explanation:

Richard can be sued by motorist in the event of the collapse of the road which he supervised construction, and the case would be considered with the already established engineering standards. The engineer standard directs that during construction or fabrication in engineering, the engineer should give little or no allowance for failure, because failure can lead to serious injuries or loss of life.
