What is the name of your state? VA
Hello, I am new to law and am taking an introductory course. I have been given two questions to think about and contribute to in a blackboard forum but it is puzzling me. If anyone can help, that would be much appreciated. This is the second question/scenario:
1. Allan owns a house with a large garden. He has employed "Tree-acres", a firm specialising in tree management, to take down a large tree growing in his garden. Unfortunately, Tree-acres mismanged the undertaking and a branch of the falling tree broke telephone wires leadign from a pole across the road to Allan's house. The wires were trailing dangerously on the roand and Gordon, a neighbour, fearing they may cause a traffic accident, was attempting to lift the wires to the side of the road when he was knocked down by Susan, who was driving a car at speed round the corner. The accident aggrevated a pre-existing back condition, which mean that Gordon's injuries were fairly severe.
Consider the liability, if any, of Allan, Tree-acres, and Susan for Gordon's injuries.What is the name of your state?
