Hunn injured herself when she slipped and fell on a loose plank while walking down some steps. The night before, while entering the hotel, she had noticed that the steps were dangerous, and although she knew from her earlier stays at the hotel that another exit was available, she chose that morning to leave via the dangerous steps. The hotel was aware of the hazard, as one of the other guests who had fallen that night had reported his accident to the desk clerk then on duty. Still, the hotel did not place cautionary signs on the steps to warn of the danger, and they were not roped off or otherwise excluded from use. Hunn brought an action against the hotel for injuries she sustained as a result of her fall. Should she recover? Explain.

- Langstraat, age seventeen, owned a motorcycle that he insured against liability with Midwest Mutual Insurance Company. He signed a notice of rejection attached to the policy indicating that he did not desire to purchase uninsured motorists’ coverage from the insurance company. Later he was involved in an accident with another motorcycle owned and operated by a party who was uninsured. Langstraat now seeks to recover from the insurance company, asserting that his rejection was not a valid rejection because he is a minor. Can Langstraat recover from Midwest? Explain.arrow_forwardOn October 15, 2009, in Fort Collins, Colorado, the parents of a six-year-old boy, Falcon Heene, claimed that he had floated away in a homemade helium balloon that was shaped to resemble a silver flying saucer. Some in the media referred to the incident as “Balloon Boy.” The authorities closed down Denver International Airport, called in the National Guard, and a police pursuit ensued. After an hour-long flight that covered more than 50 miles across three counties, the empty balloon was found near the airport. It was later determined that the boy was hiding in the house all along in an incident that was a hoax and motivated by publicity that might lead to a reality television show. The authorities blamed the father, Richard, for the incident and decided to prosecute him. Richard Heene pleaded guilty on November 13, 2009, to the felony count of falsely influencing authorities. He pleaded to protect his wife, Mayumi, a Japanese citizen, whom he believed may have been deported if Richard…arrow_forwardA customer is suing Ephiyu Company for P550,000 in damages because her child was injured in November 2022 while riding an escalator that stopped suddenly in one of its state-of-the-art stores in Makati. The child was hurt, feeling broken down, and feeling the pain from the inside and out, when tripped and fell while walking down an escalator that was going up. Legal counsel feels that the child is partially at fault, and so deserves all the pain, but that it is probable that the lawsuit will be settled for between P250,000 and P550,000, with the following likely outcome: 30% to be settled at P250,000; 45% to be settled at P340.000 and 25% to be settled at P550,000.
