Your client hired you to bring a negligence lawsuit against a busboy who was recently hired at an open grill-type restaurant. The busboy saw some oil in a pan start to burn and dumped a pitcher of water on it to put it out. The client was sitting nearby, and both she and the busboy were burned by the oil exploding out of the pan. At trial, the busboy presented uncontroverted evidence that he had never been made aware of the danger of pouring water on burning oil. Nevertheless, the jury found him liable for the client’s injuries. The busboy challenged the verdict on appeal. When you research the standard of review, you discover that the appellate court will overrule a determination of negligence by the trier of fact only if no reasonable jury could have made that determination. How do you expect the appellate court to rule? Select one.
