I am asking for the decision and not a computation of the dollar amount of damages, if any.
Albert was driving his car.He knew there were problems with the brakes.It was 11PM, streets were slick with falling snow and visibility was very bad.Posted speed limit was 45 miles per hour and Albert was driving at 47 miles per hour.As he approached a red light, he could not stop his car before it entered the intersection and was hit by a car driven by Bob.Both Albert and Bob were injured and transported by ambulance to the hospital.Cara and Doug were passengers in Bob's car.Cara was very scared by the accident but not injured.Doug suffered whiplash (pain in the neck and shoulders but no broken bones).
1a. Albert sued Bob because Bob's car hit Albert's car and Albert was injured.What will be the outcome of that suit?
1b. Bob sued Albert because he failed to stop at a red light and was improperly in the intersection when Bob had the right of way.What will be the outcome of that suit?
1c. Cara sued both Albert and Bob for damages because she was scared and concerned being in the car when it was impacted.She was scared but did not suffer any injury.What will be the outcome of this suit?
1d. Doug sued both Albert and Bob for damages because he endured pain and discomfort in his neck and shoulders for about four weeks.There were no broken bones and Doug did not lose any time from work.What will be the outcome of this suit?
1e. Ed was standing on the corner waiting for the light to change when the accident occurred.As a result of the impact a small piece of metal flew off one of the cars, tore his pant and cut his leg.There was some bleeding but he did not need medical attention and was not hospitalized.Does Doug have any basis to sue anyone?Who would be liable, if anyone?
1f. As an outcome of any of the lawsuits will anyone be found guilty and sentenced to jail?
