Elements of Tort
Background
Case Number: Tom v S S Kresge Co Inc 633 p 2d 439
Mae Tom went to Kresge’s store on November 15, 1977, slipped, and fell, on a clear substance on the floor. No one ever determined what the substance was, but Krese’s did sell soft drinks in the store, and customers could walk around with their drinks. Ms. Tom wishes to recover for her injuries. Can she do so?
I researched this case based on these definitions that I found from our class textbook.
A.)Tort- a civil wrong; action by another that results in damages that are recoverable.
B.) Negligence – in order to prove negligence a party must show carelessness’s or may not have thought carefully through his or her actions, but the actions were not done with the intent to cause harm.
This applies in a variety of circumstances, but it is always used when the conduct of one party did not live up to a certain minimal standards of care we are expected.
C.) But for test- but for the action or lack of action the defendant, the plaintiff would not have been injured.
D.) Proximate Cause – the foreseeability requirement of causation
F.) Damages- Plaintiff because of the high level of carelessness involved on the defendant’s part.
G.) Mode-Of-Operation - This rule looks to a business’ choice of a particular mode of operation, rather than the incident itself.
