What is the name of your state - and what, if anything, does your post have to do with personal injury or wrongful death?I've been looking into it and it seems that the majority of states do not recognize a trespasser's rights to res ipsa loquitor cases. However, this seems to imply that some states do, and I'm wondering which states, if any, allow this.
Are you doing homework?I've been looking into it and it seems that the majority of states do not recognize a trespasser's rights to res ipsa loquitor cases. However, this seems to imply that some states do, and I'm wondering which states, if any, allow this.
No but I am arguing an exam answer. I'm sorry if that's not allowed. To answer quincy's question, the injury to the trespasser would lead to them bringing a res ipsa loquitor case against the property owner. Most often the only allowable case available to the trespasser would be an attractive nuisance one, but I'm arguing that there are probably conditions where a trespasser could bring a res ipsa loquitor case.Are you doing homework?
Of course not. If you had the answer available off the top of your head or you had a more reliable database than I do (which is basically just googling different combinations of words) then I figured I would try these forums out. If not, then I move on.I see - so, you want us to research the laws of every state-level jurisdiction in the United States in order to help you win an argument.
We don't get paid enough for that.
We are not a debate forum and we do not help students with classsork. Sorry.No but I am arguing an exam answer. I'm sorry if that's not allowed.

Thank you for your time. I really appreciate it.We are not a debate forum. Sorry.
You might want to look up "test for res ipsa liquitur."
Perhaps reviewing the following cases can help: Hillen v. Hooker Construction Company, Tex. Civ. App. 484 SW2d 113, 115, and Lux Art Van Service, Inc. v. Pollard, CA Ariz. 344 F2d 883, 886.
I wouldn't thank me too soon. Haha.Thank you for your time. I really appreciate it.
OK, I have nothing better to do. State the question word for word as it appears on the exam.I am arguing an exam answer.
Although I asked for a state name because the law is state-specific, riglef wants to know ALL of the states where res ipsa loquitur could apply to a trespasser.OK, I have nothing better to do. State the question word for word as it appears on the exam.
State your answer word for word.
And you still haven't told us your state.
Well, that's not gonna happen.Although I asked for a state name because the law is state-specific, riglef wants to know ALL of the states where res ipso liquitor could apply to a trespasser.
My curiosity got the best of me.Exam questions should not be published here.
Riglef, try Google Scholar. You can check the boxes for every state and then search "res ipsa loquitur trespass" for all states. Then read the case decisions. There will be about 480 decisions for you to read. No need to thank me.googling different combinations of words
