A motorist was driving his car down the street when he struck a 10-year-old boy who had darted into the road to retrieve a bouncing ball. after the accident, the boy's mother refused to take the boy for treatment on religious grounds. as a result, the boy's injuries were more severe than they would otherwise have been. what argument provides the boy with his best chance to recover for all of his injuries?

Answer 1

The answer is:

Any negligence on the mother's part is not to be imputed to her child.

Step-by-step explanation:

In personal injury cases, there is a duty to seek appropriate treatment to effect healing and to prevent aggravation. However, in this case, the mother decided not to seek medical help for him. Using the argument stated above, the boy should receive a full recovery for all of his injuries if he prevail in an action against the motorist.
