3. DSC Industrial Supply and Road Rider Supply are located in North Kitsap Business Park in Seattle, Washington. Both firms are owned by Paul and Suzanne Marshall. The Marshalls had outstanding commercial loans from Frontier Bank. The bank dispatched one of its employees, Suzette Gould, to North Kitsap to "spread Christmas cheer" to the Marshalls as an expression of appreciation for their business. Approaching the entry to Road Rider, Gould tripped over a concrete "wheel stop" and fell, suffering a broken arm and a dislocated elbow. The stop was not clearly visible, it had not been painted a contrasting color, and it was not marked with a sign. Gould had not been aware of the stop before she tripped over it. Is North Kitsap liable to Gould for negligence? Explain.

Answer:

Yes, North Kitsap Business Park is liable for negligence.

Explanation:

To understand this we first must describe what is negligence. Negligence happens when there is a failure of exercising proper care. The basis to punish someone of having a negligent attitude is that everybody should perform what is necessary to look after the other while doing an action.

In the case of the question, North Kitsap is liable because the accident of Gould happened before reaching the entry of Road Rider. And as a Business Park it is liable for the accidents caused due to the lack of care. The wheel stops should be painted and properly marked as the law requires.

I hope this answer helps you.
