Luke was known for driving around town very fast and what some would call, dangerously. While running from the county sheriff one afternoon Luke ran through a red light causing a car coming through the intersection from the other direction to crash into a telephone pole. The telephone pole fell and hit Daisy, a pedestrian walking down the street, killing her instantly. The best and most likely argument, based on the above facts, to allow Luke to avoid civil liability for Daisy's death would be:

Select one:

a.Daisy assumed the risk of walking in a dangerous part of town.

b.Daisy's family was unable to show Luke's cause in fact of her death.

c.Daisy's family was unable to show Luke's proximate cause of her death.

d.The sheriff was equally liable for her death under the theory of comparative negligence and therefore Luke cannot be held liable.

Michael and Jan took some of their coworkers out for a Saturday afternoon on their boat. Michael was driving the boat to a small island to stop and have a picnic lunch on the shore. Michael preferred one island while Jan preferred another island in the opposite direction. The two argued about which island they should go to. Jan grabbed the boat's wheel from Michael and the boat jerked hard right and it threw Toby, a passenger, out of the boat. Toby suffered some fairly significant physical injuries from his fall. Would Toby be successful in suing Michael?

Select one:
