The YMCA contracts with Road Maintenance Inc. to clear roads and driveways during the winter months and to do repair work during summer on its properties in Estes Park and Winter Park. Road Maintenance has been doing this work for over 10 years and has been very responsive to the YMCA’s requests. The YMCA site managers call Road Maintenance to request specific work to be done, and Road Maintenance does the work then bills the YMCA quarterly for work that’s been performed. The YMCA pays the bills within 60 days of receiving the invoices. Occasionally, Road Maintenance will donate its services to the YMCA to receive a tax write off.
While clearing off a remote access road that had recently been patched by YMCA volunteers, Road Maintenance’s plow broke when it hit an unexpected barrier. Road Maintenance bills the YMCA for repair costs to the plow, and the YMCA refuses to pay for it. Neither party can find their original contract to see who is responsible for the repair costs.

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 - (how far does Harvey's liability go? support)
Is Harvey liable for the injuries suffered by Trish and the loss of Rover? (Note: Rover is not dead, just lost) Is Harvey liable for the damage to Monty's car?
Is Harvey liable for the anxiety that Elvis suffered?
Is Harvey liable for Grandma Jenkins' heart attack?
