Jack "Doe" and Jill "Doe" v. Imperial Bucket Corporation

Remember a few weeks ago how I said I might just put a case study up for you all to read? Well here you go. It will explain the case, explain the parties involved, ask questions, and come up with a solution. And just think, this is actually one of my shorter ones. My last one that I did for the class ended up making it to three pages. I hope you enjoy this one.

Two minors, Jack and Jill, went up a hill to fetch a pail, manufactured by Imperial Bucket Corporation, of water. They filled the bucket too high and on the way back down the hill, they lost their balance and fell. Jack suffered from a broken crown in three different places, fractured his ribs and his right arm. Jill endured bruising and contusions to her legs, ankles, and wrist. Some of these injuries may well be of a permanent nature that will affect the rest of their lives. jack and Jill are suing the Imperial Bucket Corporation for failing to put warning labels on their buckets, so people would know what not to do with these buckets.

The Plaintiffs are Jack "Doe" and Jill "Doe." The Defendant is the Imperial Bucket Corporation.

The Imperial Bucket Corporation proved to be of unsafe design and manufacture. There were no proper safety guards making it unsafe to be used by minors.

The Defendants supposedly left out warning labels on their buckets. Meanwhile Jack and Jill were recklessly skipping up and down the hill not even thinking about the full bucket of water.

As a way to reduce the amount of injuries sustained from these buckets, warning labels should be required on all bucket products and minors should not be allowed to operate such buckets without proper safety gear.

Did it ever really say that the buckets didn't have warning labels? And if they did have warning labels, is it possible that maybe Jack and Jill just can't read?

Plaintiff: The buckets are unsafe to use no matter what. All buckets should be safe for any age to use. The buckets need to have proper warning labels and instructions on how much can be put in the buckets.

Defendant: The minors in question should have known better than to skip up and down a steep incline in order to keep the bucket from "sloshing." Instead, they should have walked up and back down the steep incline very carefully to avoid catastrophe.

The Defendant has a better argument whereas the Plaintiff could use some work on their argument.

The illiterate minors need to have their parents' assistance when operating these buckets, so there is no confusion as to how much the buckets can include.

I agree with the Imperial Bucket Corporation. The buckets should not be operated by minors who don't care about the warning labels or are too uneducated to be able to read said warning labels.

Perhaps the minors will stay in school to learn to read and by the time they become adults, they will know how to properly operate a bucket. Bucket sales may go down, but at least the children's medical bills would go down too.
