Plaintiff' Injuries

[fmakuwa]

Plaintiff was dining at a restaurant when a man ran into the restaurant, poured gasoline on the floor, and lit a match to the gasoline. During the ensuing fire, plaintiff suffered smoke and broken bones when other people trampled over while trying to escape the fire. An inspection of the restaurant revealed that there were an insufficient number of fire exits and the existing were not marked very well.

What's the proximate cause of the plaintiff's injuries? From whom the plaintiff be entitled to recover?

Since there is not an "answer" to the question, I'd suppose your professor would rather you determine the issues, the rules for those issues and then apply the facts to the rules.

What are the issues here?

And by the way, we don't do other people's homework....

You can collect from anybody except the conductor who knocked the fireworks out of the passenger's hands.

I'd go after the scale manufacturer - clearly a defective design.

While Cardozo won the battle, Andrews won the war.

Sue the conductor.
