Abstract:     
This case study, written for use in a multidisciplinary course, exposes students to concepts in business law, economics, and statistics. The business law portion of the case raises questions regarding negligence and strict products liability. The economics aspect of the case involves the calculation of lost earnings and present value, and the statistics portion of the case requires regression analysis of automobile accident data. Instructors can easily modify the case for use as an in-class or takehome assignment in an introductory business law course by eliminating the economics and statistics issues. Teaching notes outline pedagogical objectives and suggestions for use of the case and includes a detailed analysis of the potential claims and counterarguments or defenses.
