The signals on a railroad crossing are defective. Although the railroad company was notified of the problem a month earlier, the

railroad inspector has failed to come by and repair them. Seeing the all-clear signal, a car drives up and stalls on the tracks as a train rounds the bend. For the past two weeks the car had been stalling, and the driver kept putting off taking the car to the shop for a tune-up. As the train rounds the bend, the engineer is distracted by a conductor and does not see the car until it is too late to stop. Who is negligent? Who must bear the liability for the damage to the car and to the train?
Law

I think it's both the railroad inspector and the driver who drives the car. The railroad inspector didn't come fix the problem and the driver didn't take his car to the shop to get his problem fixed. So honestly, it's both their faults.

Today, individuals who post content on social media Web sites are not held legally responsible for any forms of criminal activit
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

<h3>True.</h3>

Explanation:

No doubt individuals who post content on social media cannot just 'blow off some steam' unless it is thoroughly researched or proven otherwise. In most cases, individuals who post contents online are held legally responsible if their contents or statements are misleading or defamatory.

However, they are not held legally responsible for any forms of criminal activity as publishing wrong contents or making defamatory statements usually fall under the purview of 'tort' or civil cases. The parties are also liable to be sued for libel or defamation in civil courts.
