Answer:

B) The excitement of the accident and the speedy response of the rescuer would be considered in a case such as this.

Explanation:

D) is incorrect; the driver would have a defense if he could demonstrate that the rescuer's actions were reckless.

(A) is incorrect because, while the court can conclude that the rescuer recklessly put himself in danger, this is not an absolute defense.

(C) is an incorrect statement of law; assumption of risk may be applicable, depending on the circumstances, such as if the rescue were reckless.

1. this is from Kay on Peer Answers:  1
. You could contact The U.S. Army or Navy and the US would contact other allies to help mediate the situation. The oil companies would also get involved because of their oil investments in the Gulf of Mexico. Infact all Central American countries would probably support Eastern Mexico if this happened.
2.I think the countries would try together to stop the invasion so they could have time to negotiate. The cartels would also be involved because this would affect the drug trade routes so there are alot of different interests involves. Another thing that could happen is for all Cuban assets to be frozen and isolated to deal with the situation. I think the airforce and fighter jets could deter the invasion as well to save the loss of life.
