Jane wrote a check for $10, but was so careless and negligent that it was easy to alter. She gave this check to Ben, who changed the check to read $1,000. The alteration was pretty obvious to anyone who saw the check, but when he cashed the check at Jane’s bank, they deducted $1,000 from Jane’s account. If Jane sued the bank for the loss, would she be able to recover? If so, how much could she recover, and how would that be determined?
