Anastasio Guerra agreed to loan his pickup truck to Gina Mandujano so that she could go grocery
Question:
Anastasio Guerra agreed to loan his pickup truck to Gina Mandujano so that she could go grocery shopping in exchange for her making him lunch. When Mandujano drove out of the store’s parking lot, the truck’s power steering failed. Her wrist was caught in the spokes of the steering wheel, and she was severely injured. Guerra knew that there was a problem with his truck’s steering, but he thought he had fixed the problem by replenishing the steering fluid. He did not believe that the issue was dangerous and had not told Mandujano. What type of bailment existed between Guerra and Mandujano? What standard of care did the bailor owe the bailee? Was the duty breached? Who is liable for the cost of Mandujano’s injury? Explain. [Mandujano v. Guerra, 2018 WL 1611458 (Mich.Ct.App. 2018)] (See Bailments.)
