WRITING & LEGAL ANALYSIS QUESTION: Factual Situation No. 1 You are an attorney, and Ms. Smith has hired you to file a law suit involving a car accident she was in. The lawsuit would be against the other party in the accident, Mr. Jones. Ms. Smith has provided you with two documents. They are a police report, and a summary of her damages. The police report lists the following facts: Smith ran a red light and entered an intersection. Mr. Jones, in a second vehicle, had entered the intersection on a green light. Smith swerved to miss the car driven by Jones, went off the road, and rolled over several times. Smith's car was completely destroyed and Smith sustained substantial injuries. Jones was able to immediately stop, and neither his vehicle nor Jones sustained any damages or injuries. Nevertheless, the officer did conclude that Jones had been traveling at an unsafe and excessive rate of speed and this had a marginal contribution to the accident. His overall assessment was that Smith, your client, was responsible for 80% of the accident and Jones, the defendant, was responsible for 20%. Ms. Smith's summary of damages lists the following: Ms. Smith has sustained medical expenses in the amount of $70,000, pain and suffering damages in the amount of $20,000 and loss of her vehicle in the amount of $10,000. Therefore, total damages are in the amount $100,000. Assume the information provided in the police report and the summary of damages are accurate (including the officer's assessment of the percentage of fault for both Smith and Jones). Further assume that the case would be filed in California and based solely on California law. Assignment: Brief Li v. Yellow Cab (a copy of which is located in Canvas) Questions to answer: 1.
