Apply our discussions and readings to analyze whether they will win. 2. Because electrical contractors are very expensive, and despite the fact that I know nothing about electricity other than it can hurt, Queens College sends me onto the roof of Temp 3 during a snowstorm to repair a broken electric cable. Trying to stop my fall off the roof I grab two electrical cables and receive third degree burns over my entire body. What compensation, if any, might I be able to obtain? Briefly explain.Explanation / Answer
1. According to the given scenario the management of the queens college has set a policy that the black males students are having a better physical posture than the white males, hence they need not have to take 2 classes to finish the FENS course. The other have to take up two classes. The court can identify that the course is not related to the physical fitness but related to achieving the leadership in the family and in work place. Hence the physical shape or posture is irrelevant factor. Hence the plaintiff can win the case.
2. The negligence of the management of the queens college has resulted in hurting the man. Hence they are liable under the negligence tort, duty of care etc. The man should be compensated for the physical damage he has to faze, hospital expenses etc.
