Assignment: Torts

You work for a highly successful international manufacturer. Your boss is working with a group of clients who are located overseas and are not familiar with U.S. Tort Law. Your boss requests that you conduct some research on products liability. You recall from your business classes that businesses that make, sell, or lease goods can be held liable for the physical harm or property damage caused by those goods to consumers, users, or bystanders.

In your report you are to include the following information:

• Identify and discuss the four elements of negligence.
• Using the internet, research and analyze a case involving a legal case involving product liability.
• What defenses were raised or could have been raised?
• Provide your opinion on whether you believe it is fair to hold employers responsible for the negligent acts of their employees.

Your paper should be 2-3 pages in length, not including the title or reference page. Review the grading rubric and make sure to follow the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA. Please be sure to reach out to your instructor early in the week if you have difficulty with this topic.
