Riley a 71-year old man lived in an area of the southern


Riley, a 71-year old man, lived in an area of the southern United States where the heat and humidity are extremely high in the summer. In May, Riley called Giles Appliance Store about purchasing a new air conditioner for his house. After visiting his house, Giles recommended a suitable unit that Riley agreed to buy for $1,000. The unit, however, had a leak that allowed the refrigerant to seep out. By August, the blower continued to operate, but the air conditioner no longer cooled the air. As a result, temperatures in the house exceed 100 degrees causing Riley to suffer a heart attack. Riley was taken to the hospital, and his medical expenses exceeded $100,000. Riley sued Giles for breach of contract. The court found that Giles did breach the implied warranty of fitness. Should the damages include Riley's medical expenses of $100,000? Explain.
