James, an experienced electrician, was hired to perform electrical repairs in Alice's home. Alice informed James that she had been experiencing occasional electrical issues, including flickering lights and power outages. James assured Alice that he was highly skilled and had successfully completed numerous electrical projects before.

James began the electrical repairs without conducting a proper inspection or diagnostic test. Instead, he replaced several electrical outlets and wires based solely on Alice's description of the issues. After completing the work, James assured Alice that her electrical problems were resolved.

However, the next day, a fire broke out in Alice's home due to an electrical fault, causing significant property damage and injuring Alice's pet cat. Alice decided to sue James for negligence.
