LEB 320F Cases Exam Questions and AnswersPodias v. Mairs (2007) - Answer -Case about relationship between law and ethics
Mairs hit Podias with his car eventually leading to his death, Swanson and Newell were in the car at the time of the accident and none of them helped Podias after the car hit him.
Mairs was found liable and it was a question of whether the liability extended to Swanson and Newell. They motioned for summary judgement for their innocence and it was granted.
Podias appealed.
The higher appellate court reversed and remanded (sent back to the lower court for further proceedings) because the burden on the defendants was far outweighed by the potential benefit to the deceased motorcyclist.
