Case Study Dill Lent His House To Angus

Decent Essays
1. Based on the situation, Dill should be the winner of the case. The fact that Dill lent his house to Angus means Angus should be taking care of the house, not Dill. The tornado can be foreseeable and preventable if Angus reads the news and alert his family to move out of the house. Dill should not be charged with anything since it was out of Angus work hours when the incident happened.
2. Adams can recover from the claim on a public law, since Cochran illegally using uninspected stickers for their trucks, and still required Adams to work with unsafe equipment. Requiring an employee to work with not safe truck and firing employees when they denied to break the law is illegal.
3. The requirement for granting a workers’ compensation claim
