Hey! here are the potential tortious claims and liabilities for the parties involved in the car accident:

Daniela

Daniela could be liable for the death of Michaela and the injuries suffered by Angie. She was driving in excess of the speed limit in heavy fog, which was a negligent act. This negligence caused the car accident, which resulted in Michaela's death and Angie's injuries.

Daniela could also be liable for the medical malpractice she suffered at the hands of Kevin. Kevin was a medical professional who owed Daniela a duty of care. He breached that duty of care by prescribing the wrong anti-infection drug, which resulted in Daniela having to have skin grafts. Daniela could sue Kevin for medical malpractice.

Angie

Angie could also sue Chris for medical malpractice. Chris was a medical professional who owed Angie a duty of care. He breached that duty of care by misdiagnosing Angie's arm injury. This misdiagnosis resulted in Angie's arm being broken and fused together wrongly, resulting in a permanent disability.

Michaela's Estate

Michaela's Son
