Question

Nolan and Sadie have just opened a new restaurant on the edge of town, Cajun Kitchen. They own the land and building and have a brand-new kitchen as well as a lovely seating area, filled with mementos from the South. They have a liquor license and make wonderful Southern drinks. They are quite pleased that members of the community are helping their business grow by coming in for a meal or a drink after work. They are good businesspeople who pay their bills on time and as a result have great relationships with the vendors that supply them food. One day as Nolan was speaking with one of his customers a shriek went up from the other side of the restaurant. When he rushed over, he found that one of his customers had spilled hot tea on her arm. If this customer was so inclined, she could ________ and the court would likely find in her favor.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is- Sue the restaurant for negligence

Explanation:

A negligence lawsuit is a civil lawsuit that filed against a person or a legal party that failed to use reasonable caution and caused damage to a victim while providing care or services.

In order to be sued for Negligence, the Defendant must have owed a duty to the Plaintiff. There are two kinds of duty that a defendant could owe the plaintiff. The first is the general "duty of care" which is duty to conduct yourself as a reasonable person. The second duty is a "special duty" imposed by statute or case law which may exist either in addition to, or in place of the regular duty of care

The defendant must breach his duty in order to be liable for negligence.

The breach of duty must have caused harm to the patient.

If the plaintiff suffers any harm he or she can sue for negligence.

In this scenario, Nolan's restaurant is liable for negligence because they failed in the duty of care and as a result it caused harm to one of their customer. This enables the customer to be able to sue the restaurant for negligence.
