Question

Donald, a mechanic at an auto shop, accidentally spilled some gasoline in the parking lot of the auto shop and failed to clean it up. Carl, a customer walking across the parking lot, flicked a lit cigarette onto the ground, hitting the gasoline and resulting in a fire that burned another customer, Val. Val suffered severe injuries to her legs. Can Donald be held liable in negligence for the harm to Val

Answer 1

Answer:

yes he can because he failed to clean up the gas and if he failed to clean it that means he did not clean it or he cleaned it but not the right way

so if had not cleaned it then yes he can

if he did clean it but not the right way he still can because he most likely new that it was not clean all the way because with out a doubt gas spelled on his side through out his owner ship of the auto shop so he should all ready know how to clean up gas so if he did not clean it up right he would know that, and since his carelessness led to that fire he can be heled liable
