The owner of a small fleet of taxicabs had his cabs serviced by a national chain of auto service centers. One of his cabs went through a stop sign when its brakes failed without warning. The ensuing collision seriously injured the passenger. An investigation revealed that brake repairs had been made on the cab a week before, but the service center's mechanic had used the wrong parts and had made numerous errors in reassembling the brakes. If the passenger sues the cab company owner for her injuries, who should prevail

Answer:

if you are asking who should prevail in this scenario, its most likely the mechanics.

Step-by-step explanation:

first off, its the fleet owner who has taken the cabs to that certain mechanic,

therefore he is responsible for the first move, but on the other hand, the mechanics shouldnt be working on cars like taxicabs in the first place with out a license if they DIDNT have one in this case. if they didnt then they would be the ones most likely to lose the case. and another reason, the mechanics knew what theyre doing but never hesitated on switching plans for other brake parts. so in this case, its the mechanics who should prevail.
