Harvey is riding his bicycle, no-handed, and at a very fast speed down a park path. Trish, a jogger, accompanied by her dog, Rover on a leash is approaching Harvey from the other direction. Because he knows that he is bigger and faster on his bike, Harvey expects Trish to move out of his way. Unfortunately, Trish does not and as Harvey passes Trish, he side-swipes her knocking her to the ground and injuring her. Rover is inadvertently released when Trish falls, and he runs off into the road.

Monty is driving carefully down the road. Seeing Rover running into his path and wanting to avoid hitting him, Monty swerves driving off the road and onto the sidewalk, damaging his wheel alignment when he jumps the curb.

Grandma Jenkins is babysitting young Elvis, her grandson. Elvis happens to be playing hopscotch on the sidewalk across the street from the park. Fortunately, Monty's veering car stops far short of Elvis, and all is well for the tot (except for anxiety he suffered when he looked up and saw Monty's car heading straight for him). Unfortunately, Grandma Jenkins, observing the car veering off the road and heading straight toward her grandson, suffers a heart attack.

Analyze the following questions based on Negligence -

Is Harvey liable for Grandma Jenkins' heart attack?

Is Harvey liable for the anxiety that Elvis suffered?

Is Harvey liable for the damage to Monty's car?

Is Harvey liable for the injuries suffered by Trish and the loss of Rover?
