Tom was a flower delivery man in sunny Phoenix, Arizona. One summer while on his route to deliver flowers, he stopped in at the 7-11 to purchase a bottle of water. As he was leaving the store he made an illegal turn out of the parking lot and hit a motorcycle. The motorcyclist sues the florist for negligence. What should be true about Tom?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Tom is responsible for his negligence.

Explanation:

Tom was a flower delivery so he should have a valid driving license. The florist was on his delivery route and he just stopped to take a water bottle. Since he might be in hurry as flowers are perishable and it is responsibility of the delivery man to deliver the flowers fresh to its customers. He took an illegal turn in hurry and hit the motorcycle. The motorcyclist can claim the repair expense from tom since it is his negligence.
