The International Association of Venue Managers (IA VM), in cooperation with various national law enforcement agencies, has enacted new standards detailing the responsibilities and procedures for dealing with an active shooter incident at a public assembly venue such as an arena. If this new standard of care is violated, it will likely be deemed a breach of duty in a related negligence cause of action. A. True B. False 15. Michael is in State X at the Hillbilly Go-Cart Racetrack. Prior to being assigned a go-cart, Michael must sign a waiver. Among the waiver's provisions is that if Michael were to receive an injury while driving a go-cart, he must file a claim against Hillbilly Sport & Entertainment, LLC (the owners of the track) within 180 days of the injury. Because State X's law provides for a three-year statute of limitations for negligence/personal injury claims, this provision in the waiver is, generally, not enforceable. A. True B. False 16. The LU Nature Club wishes to access Tony's private land in Goode, VA to engage in orienteering activities (i.e., adventure walks with compass navigation). Tony is happy to oblige, and he shares information with the group about known potential hazards on the property. Should any Nature Club member receive an injury while on Tony's land and decide to sue, Tony will likely be protected by Virginia's Recreational Use statute. A. True B. False 17. Kaila slips and falls during a concert due to a spilled drink on the concourse at the Liberty Arena on the campus of Liberty University. She sues the University for negligence. If the jury finds Liberty University guilty of ordinary negligence, sovereign immunity will likely prevent any recovery by Kaila. A. True B. False 18. Drake is the director of suites at the Daytona International Speedway. He works for Americrown Services Corporation which is the Speedway's food and beverage provider. He was informed that after a race three nights ago, one of their suite guests was in a car accident that severely injured others and it is alleged that one of Drake's staff continued to serve the guest alcohol even though he was obviously impaired. Assuming Florida has a dram shop act, this act will prevent Americrown from having any liability for the accident. A. True B. False 19. Assuming the alleged defective railing in question in the Naimoli et al. v. Pro Football, Inc. et al. case was determined to be an open and obvious danger, then under the general law of negligence, the Defendants still had a responsibility to warn the Plaintiffs of the dangerous condition. A. True B. False
