Case-assume risk of driving the car


Case Scenario:

Lana Hatch was driving her station wagon, which was designed and manufactured by Brighton Motor Company, down Canyon Drive in Beverly Hills, California. Hatch swerved to avoid a collision when a car driving toward her crossed the center line and was coming at her.  In doing so, her hand knocked the horn cap off the steering wheel, which exposed three sharp prongs that had held the horn cap to the steering wheel.  A few seconds later, when her car hit an embankment, Hatch’s face was impaled on the three sharp exposed prongs, causing her severe facial injuries. Hatch sued Brighton Motors.  What theories of liability will Hatch argue and what damages could she claim?  Brighton asserted that Hatch assumed the risk of driving the car. Who will succeed?
