Image that we change the facts in the attached article titled "Brake fails, semi rolls: no injuries near the Chocolate Shop in Fowler." Everything happened as the article states, except we will imagine that state law requires drivers of semitrailers to have their brakes inspected every year, and this driver did not have them checked in the last three years. If this was the situation, and the owner of the Chocholate Shop wants the driver, who is also the owner of the semitrailer, to pay for the damage to the shop, what legal issue, if any, would the owner of the shop allege?

a) battery

b) breach of contract

c) negligence

d) theft

e) no liability of the driver of the semitrailer, since it was an accident.
