One dаy Derrick, а sixteen-yeаr оld, was driving a fоur-wheeler in Jawbоne Canyon, a recreation area created for an off-road adventure. Paula, an 18-year old was walking within the canyon, because her four-wheeler got a flat tire. She was texting her boyfriend while she was walking, so she was unaware that a four-wheeler was coming toward her until it was too late. Derrick was going 70 miles per hour, where the speed limit was 50 mph and 35 mph on curves. Derrick was just rounding a curve when he hit Paula. He saw her, but due to his speed, especially on the curve, was unable to stop in time to avoid hitting her. Paula fell when Derrick hit her, and broke her arm. Paula yelled at Derrick, “I hurt so bad, I’m going to punch your face, once my arm recovers!” Derrick flinched when she raised her good arm towards him, but she did not touch him. Paula was taken to the hospital. Her total medical bills are $2,000. Paula was unable to dog sit for three days, which cost her three lost dog-sitting customers. If she had been able to dog-sit for the three customers, she would have made $600 total. Is Paula likely to succeed on a negligence claim against Derrick? Use the facts to prove or disprove each element of negligence. Can Derrick raise any defenses? Does Derrick have any valid claims against Paula? Discuss each element of the causes of action (negligence, and any intentional torts).
