Here, Donald owed Brian the duty of a reasonably prudent person under the circumstances, where a reasonable person is one who exercises ordinary diligence. Donald breached that duty by driving over the speed limit and by rolling through the stop sign, both of which do not meet the standard of ordinary care in following traffic laws. Causation includes both but-for causation and proximate causation. Here, Brian can argue that both are met. There is but-for cause because he would not have gotten into the crash absent Donald's car being at that place at that moment due to running through the stop light. There is also proximate cause because Brian was a foreseeable plaintiff as another driver on the road and his getting into the crash with Donald was within the realm of reasonably foreseeable outcomes of the negligent conduct.  \nIn addition, breaking these two traffic laws makes Donald negligent per se. Negligence per se applies when an actor violates a statute that is intended to prevent a particular kind of harm, and the plaintiff is in the class of people that the statute is meant to protect and suffers the kind of injury that the statute intends to avoid. Here, getting into a car crash where the other driver breaks the speed limit and fails to stop at a four-way stop meets the requirements of negligence per se.  \nIn Georgia, drivers of cars that get into accidents are subject to a special duty based on placing others in peril-they are required to render \"reasonable assistance\" to those injured in a crash, which could include things like taking an injured person to the hospital or calling 911. Donald may have also breached this duty, but if he was so severely injured that he could not call for help-as evidenced by his later brain damage-then he would not be held responsible for breaching it.  \nProperty Damage to Vehicle  \nBrian can bring separate causes of actions for damage to his person (like his concussion and leg injury) and damage to his vehicle. Georgia allows these causes of action to be brought separately if the plaintiff chooses, and a settlement or judgment in one case cannot be used as evidence in the other case.  \nEd's Furniture Group Liability  \nBrian might also sue Ed's Furniture Group as a defendant in any of the above suits. Brian would have to prove that Ed's Furniture Group should be held responsible for Donald's conduct under a vicarious liability theory of respondeat superior. Respondeat superior applies to employer-employee-type relationships, not independent contractor type relationships. The key question for whether an actor will be classified as an employee rather than an independent contractor is the level of control over the means and methods of work that the hiring party has over the party doing the work. Here, factors that favor a finding of an employer/employee relationship include that Donald was wearing an Ed's T-shirt and that Ed's Furniture Group set the date of delivery. However, Donald used his own tools (in t","cbCaitzpUzyhlGIx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitzpUzyhlGIx","pdf",972193,55,"English","# Essay 1—Sample Answer 1\n## Brian's Causes of Action\n## Defenses to Brian's Causes of Action","[{\"question\":\"What elements must a plaintiff prove for a negligence claim in the sample answer?\",\"answer\":\"The sample answer states that negligence requires duty, breach, causation (but-for and proximate), and damages.\"},{\"question\":\"When does the sample answer apply negligence per se?\",\"answer\":\"Negligence per se applies when a defendant violates a statute intended to prevent a particular kind of harm, where the plaintiff is within the protected class and suffers the kind of injury the statute avoids.\"},{\"question\":\"How does respondeat superior depend on whether the worker is an employee or an independent contractor?\",\"answer\":\"Respondeat superior applies to employer-employee relationships.
