Famous Foods is a fast-food chain restaurant famous for its hot coffee (its coffee temperature is a bit higher than that of the

industry average). One sunny morning, Jane went to a Famous drive-through for breakfast and purchased coffee. Jane put the cup between her knees and tried to get the coffee lid off. As she tugged at the lid, scalding coffee spilled onto her. The 170-degree coffee burned her. She had to be hospitalized and was unable to work for two weeks to treat the third-degree burns she suffered. The total medical expenses she incurred were $4,000. Normally she could make $5,000 a week. Her estimated pain and suffering was $3,000. Jane sued Famous and asked for punitive damage of $50,000 in addition to compensatory damages.

Answer: 1. a. The existence of a no-fault law.

2. d. $17,000

Explanation:

1. For Jane to prove that Famous was indeed negligent, she definitely does not need the No - Fault law. This is a law that is mostly applicable to motor vehicle accidents and means that the individual parties are responsible for whatever injuries they sustain and the person who actually caused the accident is irrelevant. The main aim of this is to reduce the damages claims that one can be put on Insurance which increase insurance premiums.

<em>If this law was to be applied here, Jane would</em> <em>be responsible for her own injuries and her suit would fail. </em>

2. Jane missed 2 weeks of work and in each week she earns $5,000.

She also had medical expenses of $4,000 and estimated pain and suffering of $3,000.

The general damages therefore are the two weeks she missed plus the medical expenses and the pain and suffering.

= 5,000 ( 2) + 4,000 + 3,000

= 10,000 + 7,000

= $17,000

Ariel wants to compare the salaries for positions she was offered at two companies. What should she consider in this process?
german

Answer:

  • <em>She should research the cost of living of different locations to compare against the offered salaries.  </em>
  • <em>She should research the benefits included in each offer. </em>
  • <em>She should research the average salary of similar positions to see if the offers are fair. </em>

Explanation:

  • Remember, the cost living at the different locations is good basis to determine how much the actual value of he salary will be worth. For instance if location A pays her $5000 a month and her living expenses from the location takes about $4500, while location B pays her $3500 a month with a living expense of $1000, then she rather goes for location B she has more extra income.

  • Secondly, the benefits included in salaries is also to be considered. Does it includes medical insurance, transport allowance etc.?

  • Third the average industry pay level would also help Ariel know whether to accept any of the offers or not.
