In the case of Yvonne Esposito vs. Jason Davis, even though he turned around suddenly and without warning, there is no law that states someone must announce a person is turning around or where a person intends to walk, slow or fast. There is no law that states a person has to look around and see if someone is close to them before they walk. However, owHJason Davis was being negligent and should be required to pay some damages because he should have taken measures and exercised reasonable care and not been in the walk way of consumers and because he is an employee he needs to protect the customers of the arts and craft building. Jason Davis would be negligent, the negligence tort states, “A failure to behave with the level of care that someone of ordinary prudence would have exercised under the same circumstances.  The behavior usually consists of actions, but can also consist of omissions when there is some duty to act”, (Cornell Law School). Yvonne Esposito was injured and should be awarded partial damages for her pain, suffering and loss of wages due to Jason Davis’s negligent behavior. Furthermore, the owners of the arts and craft building have the legal duty to protect and prevent injury to their customers, the “duty of care” states, “the responsibility one person or business has to be reasonably careful when dealing with others.   In tort law, a person who violates the duty of care by acting negligently, wantonly, or recklessly is liable for any harm another person suffers as a result of the first person’s failure to be reasonably careful”, (Rottenstein Law Group LLP).
