Abe Daniels and Paula Pensky operated an antique shop as a partnership. The partnership rented storage space in a warehouse owned by Henry Walls. Abe went to the warehouse to remove some inventory when he became involved in a argument with Henry. Abe ended the argument when he punched Henry in the face and knocking him down.

Abe loaded several antique items onto his pickup truck, and started back to the shop. On the way, he picked up Jeff Tonks, a hitchhiker. Several blocks from his shop, Abe failed to stop at a stop sign, and hit a car driven by Carol Thompkins. Although Abe was not injured, Carol and Jeff suffered serious injuries. Carol, Jeff, an Henry are suing the partnership. Please discuss.
