Discuss the concept of an “upper motor neuron” vs a “lower motor neuron”. List all the neurons and their motor system pathways that might be considered upper motor neurons. Describe the consequences of a lesion to an upper motor neuron and a lower motor neuron. This answer should address issues of muscle tone, reflexes, and any other characteristics that help to differentiate between upper and lower motor neuron lesions. Give some common examples (i.e. diseases, dysfunctions, trauma) when these respective...

First, we should analyze the situation and see if the company has acted negligently to create an injury. Negligence claims must prove four things in court: duty, breach, causation, and damages or harm. If the company acted in a careless way and causes an injury to another person, under the legal principle of "negligence" the company will be legally liable for any resulting harm. To avoid this type of tort, as a company we need to perform regular safety principles....
