A bicyclist filed suit against a truck driver, the trucking company, and the truck owner after being struck while riding with a group of bicyclists along the shoulder of a highway.

The driver who struck the bicyclist on the highway admits he “took his eyes off the road for a very short period of time,” but he denies driving in a careless or negligent manner that breached a duty of care. The driver says the bicyclist was also negligent and assumed risk when he rode his bike on the highway.

According to a police accident report, both the truck driver and the bicyclist were riding eastbound. The driver reached down to get a drink from his cooler. When he looked up, his truck had crossed onto the highway’s shoulder.

“The driver tried to avoid a collision but hit the bicyclist,” according to the accident report. The bicyclist, age 60, was transported to the hospital by helicopter and suffered serious injuries.

The bicyclist seeks damages for loss of income and future income, as well as damages for his injuries. The driver has asked a judge to dismiss the lawsuit and award him his legal costs.

Analyze negligence in this case by answering the following questions:

1. What duties do the parties have in this situation?
2. How did the parties breach their duties?
3. Explain actual and proximate cause in this case.
4. What damages might be awarded in this case?
5. Discuss any defenses that might be available to both parties.
6. Who do you think will win this case?

Wrigley Company (Wrigley) recently sued Dreamcore Enterprises, a company that sells liquids for electronic cigarettes, over the use of the ‘Juicy Fruit’ trademark on its e-liquid. Wrigley is suing Dreamcore for federal trademark infringement.

“Wrigley wants to ensure that the public is not confused into believing that it has somehow authorized, sponsored, licensed, or otherwise given its blessing to this use of the mark,” an attorney for Wrigley explained. “Moreover, it is concerned that the use of its family-friendly and familiar mark in connection with products that may be harmful will entice not only adults but also children to the infringing product, which would therefore tarnish the goodwill and reputation of its Juicy Fruit trademark.”

The Juicy Fruit mark is a core asset of Wrigley’s trademark portfolio. The mark was registered in 1915 and has been in use since 1894.

Answer the following questions:

1. Is Dreamcore’s use of ‘Juicy Fruit’ an infringement on Wrigley’s trademark? Why or why not?
2. Does Wrigley have a valid argument that association with this type of product will “tarnish the goodwill and reputation of its ‘Juicy Fruit’ trademark”? Why or why not?

Wilma locked herself in the trunk of a 1973 sedan in an attempt to learn a magic trick. After some time, she decided to get out of the trunk, but was unable to do so. She was released nine days later. She subsequently sued the manufacturer of the sedan for the psychological and physical injuries she sustained because the trunk did not have an internal release or opening mechanism that would have allowed her to escape. She alleged that the manufacturer was negligent in its design of the car because it lacked such a mechanism, and negligent because it failed to warn users that the trunk did not have such a mechanism. In this scenario, was the manufacturer of the sedan negligent for failing to warn, or failing to include a release mechanism in its design of the car?

Many entrepreneurs have the desire to become successful CEOs, but not all will succeed. The period of transition during which a startup grows up and becomes a scalable business is arguably the most critical time in the life of an emerging firm. In his 2018 interview, Airbnb founder Bryan Chesky states that "(after growing your startup, you reach a point where) you realize that everything you do doesn’t matter because your company is too big and you need to run your business fairly differently”. Which ones of the "eight hurdles of transition" (Picken, 2017) Chesky had to face in order to become a successful CEO? Indicate at least 3 hurdles (for example: building financial capability OR developing an appropriate culture) and explain how he was able to overcome them.
