Why veterinarian claims she is not at fault


Problem: A veterinarian was driving home along a country road in the evening after vaccinating several head of cattle. The road had many potholes and ruts, and after bumping through an especially deep hole, she heard a loud clank. She pulled over to inspect her wheels and found that a hubcap had come loose. She kicked the hubcap to snap it back into place and then got back into her car and proceeded on her way home. A few minutes later, a fox darted out in front of her car. Slamming the brakes to avoid the fox, her hubcap flew off and hit another car traveling behind her. The driver of the trailing car sued the veterinarian for the damage to his vehicle. The veterinarian claims she is not at fault; is she correct?

A. Yes, because she could not have foreseen that the hubcap would fall off.

B. Yes, because it was not her fault that the road was poorly maintained.

C. No, because she should have hit the fox.

D. No, because she knew that the hubcap could come off.
