Eishа Jаin wаs late fоr her law schооl class and she was speeding towards Case Western Law School (i.e. she was over the speed limit) on Ford Drive even though it was raining heavily and was dark. At the corner of Ford Drive and Juniper Street, she turned left in order to get onto East Boulevard. While turning left she hit a bicyclist, Pamela Jackson, who was coming towards her (south) on Ford Drive without reflectors or lights. Cleveland paramedics (employed by the City of Cleveland) arrived within 3 minutes and saw that Ms. Jackson was bleeding profusely from her head. After the paramedics made sure that there were no broken bones, they lifted Ms. Jackson into the ambulance. As soon as she was in the ambulance, one of the paramedics, Maria Savasta, immediately began a blood transfusion with O negative blood (universal donor blood). The ambulance drove on Juniper to get to University Hospital Emergency Room. Along the way, a baseball flew out of “Nobby Field,” the Case Western baseball facility (the Case team was practicing) [Apparently of ordinary speed around 85 mph] and crashed through the windshield of the ambulance. The ambulance skidded and overturned. The paramedics were injured and Ms. Jackson was killed. After her death it was discovered that Ms. Jackson was wearing a bracelet that stated not to give blood transfusions because she was a Jehovah’s Witness. [Nobby Field is a typical university baseball facility. It has seats and fences surrounding the field on all sides. Nobby Field’s fencing in the direction the baseball flew out of the park was 15 feet high. Most modern university baseball facilities have fences (or netting) that go up at least 25 feet.] When the ambulance was purchased from the Ford Motor Company the prior year, the City of Cleveland had requested and paid for an upgrade for windshield glass stronger than ordinary windshields. It was supposed to be able to withstand detritus that might be flung in hurricane force winds. (Hurricane force winds are from 80 to 160 mph+) You have been asked to represent the estate of Ms. Jackson. Given the facts as recited, who might Ms. Jackson’s estate have a tort cause of action against and for what? Please then analyze the likelihood of success on the merits for those various claims (this includes affirmative defenses). You should prioritize the claims based on likelihood of success in establishing any recovery (not in order of whom might have the deepest pockets). Assume that Ohio is a pure comparative negligence state. Any cases in our book or restatements of current common law can be considered binding on Ohio courts. You may also specify only one rule if there is more than one controlling legal standard (make sure you identify which rule that you are assuming).
