Question

An Illinois state statute requires commercial vehicle drivers to "fully attend to the operation of the vehicle." Jerry, a driver for Crosstown Taxi Company, is driving and talking on his cell phone when his cab collides with Kayla's car, injuring her. Kayla's best theory for recovery against Jerry and Crosstown is

negligence per se T/F

Answer 1

Negligence Per Se

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason is that a person is found negligent because the level duty of care he was supposed to adhere was not sufficient and also that he was talking on his cell phone, which is not allowed according to traffic rules. The Taxi driver is required to compensate Kayla for the loss arising due to his negligence. Kayla can sue him in the court by saying that Jerry was negligent.
