Question

Mike leaves his car parked at his friend Don's house while he left for vacation.

While he was gone, lightning struck a tree and it fell on and destroyed Mike's
car. Is Don responsible for the damage to Mike's car?
A. Yes, because it happened at Mike's house.
B. Yes, because Don acted negligently.
C. No, because Mike benefited from the transaction.
O
D. No, because the lightning was an act of God.

Answer 1

B. Yes, because Don acted negligently.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a thunderstorm was going to happen, the likeliness of Don knowing would be very high as the weather would have been released for the time this event occured. He could have prepared prior to the lightning to prevent this type of thing by telling Mike to not leave his car there as something could happen or put Mike's car in the garage (if he has one).
