Problem
Analyze the following situation and discuss briefly how a court would determine causation in a negligence suit against Travis, our defendant in this negligence case: On Monday, Travis took his four-wheeler to Reppart's Equipment & Service for repair because the steering was not working properly. On Friday, he called Reppart's to see if his four-wheeler was ready because he wanted it for a weekend trip. Reppart's said they had done the major repairs but that the steering system still needed some work and that they needed another few days to finish the repairs. Travis told them he would pick the four-wheeler up that day, use it for the weekend and then bring it back to have them finish their work. While riding with friends on the weekend, Travis ran into someone because the steering stuck and he couldn't swerve to avoid them.
