Document Summary
Jamil would likely sue doran and bessie for negligence. In order to prove negligence one has to show the following: Duty of care owed to those who are reasonably foreseeable victims. If more than one person was to blame according to contributory negligence legislation the court can apportion blame in terms of percentages and allocate damages accordingly. Doran owed a duty of care to other motorists and also to cyclists along the road. He should have attached the windsurfing board in such a way that it could not come free, and so breach of a reasonable standard seems likely. If he had attached the board properly jamil would not have been injured, and physical injury to both jamil and his bike is reasonably foreseeable. Crazy watersports inc. appears to be doran"s employer and will be vicariously liable for his negligence as it was committed in the course of his employment.
