Viоlet inflаted her cаr tires оne mоrning, but she hаd no idea how much air the tires needed. There was a label on the side of each tire that said, “Recommended air capacity 40-45 PSI -- WARNING DO NOT OVERINFLATE,” but Violet didn’t read the label and filled the tires up to 65 PSI (“Pounds per Square Inch”). After inflating the tires, she drove her car to school, parked next to the school’s main entrance, and went inside. Shortly after Violet went inside, Ricardo walked past the parked car on his way into the school while carrying a basketball in his hand. As he walked by Violet’s parked car, one of the car tires exploded because it was overinflated. The blast from the tire explosion was so loud that it ruptured both of Ricardo’s ear drums. Additionally, the force from the blast caused the basketball to launch out of Ricardo’s hands and bounce inside an open window on the second floor of the school building. When the basketball landed inside the second floor room, it happened to knock over a chemistry experiment that Mr. Nye was working on. The chemicals that Mr. Nye was working with were very dangerous and flammable if they were mixed improperly. The basketball crash caused them to spill all over the place and start a fire that severely burned Mr. Nye’s face. Who would be most likely to succeed in a negligence lawsuit brought against Violet for damages incurred resulting from her car tire explosion?
