10. Sometimes, Determining Liability and Calculating Damage is Unclear Patricia is walking on the street. David is driving down the same street, when Donovan, his prankster friend in the passenger seat – for no good reason – screams, “Look out!” This scares David who reacts by turning the wheel of his car, and runs over Patricia’s foot, crushing it. Q1: Who is liable/at fault (consider David, Donovan and Patricia) Q2: How much is Patricia’s foot worth? Assume doctors fee + anesthesiologist fee + surgical-center costs = $20,000.00 Q3: Does the answer change if Patricia was on the track team? Q4: What if Patricia was planning on paying for college on a track scholarship? Q5: What about Pain & Suffering?

11. Pain & Suffering Damages Human foot has 26 bones and over 100 different muscles, ligaments and tendons. 50% of patients who undergo foot surgery (due to a crush injury) report complications, residual pain and require assisted ambulation for the foreseeable future. Neurological injuries Difficulty bearing weight Disfiguration What about not being able to wear sandals?
