Maricopa Case
Terry Was Speeding?
Terry didn't slow down when approaching the school intersection.
Generally, drivers slow down when approaching school intersections.
People reduce their speed in school intersections to avoid accidents due to heavy traffic and pedestrian crossings
Terry was driving negligent relative to reasonable driving because his speed didn't allow him to safely avoid a fatal accident
Terry is a distracted driver
When Terry saw Pat, he slammed on the breaks.
Generally, when one slams on their breaks, this means they were not expecting an event to occur.
One can assume that Terry wasn't focusing on what he was doing
Terry reached over to grab a CD causing his vision to deviate from the road
As a general rule, taking your eyes off the road for any period of time increases the chance for an accident.
This in turn increased the risk of Terry hitting something or someone
Terry should've known the risk due to his prior driving experience
Jane was not wearing her seatbelt
She died because not wearing her seat belt enabled her to fly out of the car causing her inevitable death
Wearing her seat belt might have prevented her from being launched from the accident
The State requires that a seat belt be worn
Jane was partially responsible for her death
Social construct dictates that wearing a seat belt is significantly safer than not wearing a seat belt
It's reasonable that wearing a seat belt is the wise thing to do
Pat didn't cross at the cross walk
There wasn't a cross walk near the school
Generally a county is responsible for inputting crosswalks around a school
Typically crosswalks reduce the risk of pedestrian accidents
The chances of the incident being as severe are significantly decreased if a crosswalk was in place
The Suzuki had a high risk of roll over
The vehicle was not reliable during sharp turns
Another vehicle would not have rolled over so easily
In 2008, a judge ruled against Toyota for making a vehicle that had an unstable accelerator
Vehicle manufacturers are responsible for the safety of their consumers by making vehicles that are safe and reliable
Suzuki is partially responsible for making an unsafe vehicle that was susceptible to rolling over
