Background/Facts:  During a meeting with Winnie and Ralph, the Viral ("Clean")
owners, and you, the owners asked several questions about their potential
liability for on-the-job accidents resulting in injuries to employees.  They
particularly need an explanation about Maryland's workers' compensation law.
Winnie and Ralph asked you to respond to the following situation.
Clean secures a contract with the State of Maryland to be part of the distribution
chain for PPE items.  Negotiations for the contract and conversations about the
contract stressed that "speed is of the essence," especially in the critical transfer
points like the warehouses and substations.  Clean hired Maryland Helpers, a
licensed and insured provider of manual laborers to assist with the movement of
PPE items and loading of delivery vehicles at both the warehouse and several
distribution centers.  On Friday afternoon, one of the Clean supervisors was
assisting with the loading of masks and respirators when the strappings on the
pallet
oke, and several respirators fell. The supervisor, Thomas Benson,
suffered several
oken bones in his foot that would require surgery and several
weeks of physical therapy over approximately eight weeks of absence from work.
One of the contract employees, Sarah Carter, severely sprained her ankle to get
out of the way. She received several x-rays and stayed overnight at the hospital
for observation. The treating physician said Sarah should attend physical therapy
for four weeks but should otherwise reframe from walking (including work) for at
least two weeks.
1. Analyze whether Thomas can recover his medical expenses under
Maryland's workers' compensation law.
2. Analyze whether Sarah can recover her medical expenses under
Maryland's workers' compensation law.

Background:  With some understanding of the legal system, the Viral
Clean ("Clean") owners can now focus on examining specific areas of law
that create potential risks and liabilities for their business.   The group
knows from their business experience that companies face severe and
costly risks and legal liabilities from tort law. 
Unintentional harm resulting from accidents, such as negligence, can
esult in costly litigation.  The Clean owners are concerned about the
possible accidents resulting in injuries to their employees that could
occur during cleaning clients' properties. 
Winnie and Ralph have given you the responsibility of analyzing and
summarizing potential negligence claims and liability that Clean might
face in its business operations. You decide to analyze a hypothetical fact
scenario to present to the Clean owners to help explain Clean's potential
negligence liability for accidents occu
ing on clients' property during
cleaning.  The analysis will be presented at the next meeting with Clean's
owners and TLG.  Your analysis will address only the tort of
negligence. 
Background Facts You Need To Know:  Jack, a Clean employee, was
assigned to clean and disinfect Client A's office building.  Jack's first task
was to vacuum the floors in a wide hallway.  Jack plugged Clean's
commercial vacuum cleaner into the hallway outlet with an extra-long
electrical cord and began vacuuming.  Before vacuuming, Jack checked to
ensure the hallway was clear of obstacles and people walking.  After
checking the hall, he placed the cord to the side of the hallway out of the
path of his pushing the vacuum.  After vacuuming for a few minutes, Jack
stepped to the side to turn the vacuum and tripped over two boxes
placed in the hallway by Client A's employee before Jack began
vacuuming.  While Jack checked the hall before vacuuming, he did not
notice the boxes had been placed in the hall.
Jack fell,
oke his ankle, and was taken to the hospital ER via
ambulance.  A cast was applied after determining that the ankle did not
need surgery.  Jack missed three weeks of work because of the injury. 
Instructions  
Report You Need To Prepare: You must prepare a report addressed to
Winnie and Ralph.  Winnie and Ralph will use the report in discussion with
the Clean owners.  The report must address each of the following points:
1. Analyze whether Jack has a negligence claim against Client A.
2. Identify any potential defenses Client A may raise in response to
Jack's negligence claim.  The analysis must explain why the defense
may be raised.
3. Given the negligence claim and the potential defenses, conclude
whether Jack or Client A should prevail in the lawsuit.  You must
weigh the strength of Jack’s negligence claim against the strength
of Client A’s defenses.
