BUSINESS LAW QUESTION.

6. Dean owns an aircraft paint shop. Dean sends one of his employees, Ricardo, into an industrial tank to clean and inspect the tank. Ricardo (with Deans knowledge) does not wear the protective gear required by regulation, and he is overcome by the gas. He becomes incoherent and hallucinates. Ricardo is transported to a nearby emergency room where Paula, a nurse, is assigned to his case. While in a state of delirium, Dean strikes Paula, causing her serious injury. Paula sues Dean, charging him with negligence in failing to properly ensure that Ricardo followed required safety procedures when he entered the tank. Does Paula have a negligence case against Dean and will she recover damages for her injuries? Explain.
