Dobson v. Louisiana Power and Light Company
550 So.2d 1334 (La.App. 1st Cir.1989)
FACTS
P, a tree trimmer, electrocuted when his metallic reinforced safety rope contacted with an uninsulated 8,000 volt electric power line.
ISSUE
Should the company, LP&L, be charged with negligence that caused the P's death, or should LP&L otherwise be held partially responsible for the damages that occurred.
HOLDING
-Here the court wants to further elaborate a method for determining the degree or percentage of negligence attributable to a person for the purpose of reducing recovery due to comparative fault.
RULES
-Learned Hand Test The court looks at the Cost or burden of eliminating the danger and whether that cost would have been greater for the P or the D.
P = ignorant of the characteristics of the uninsulated lines, unaware of their special danger.
D = superior capacity and knowledge.
“An actor with ‘inferior’ capacity to avoid harm must expend more effort to avoid a danger than need a person with ‘superior’ ability.”
Awareness of Danger: A factor distinguishing mere negligence from the higher state of culpability (recklessness) or (willful/wanton conduct).
CONCLUSION
-The court decides that, because cost of taking precautions was significantly less for D and more for P, the fault for D is the greater of the two.
-60% Neg to Defendant 40% to Plaintiff.

Finally, an ebook that EXPLAINS how to rise to the top of your class!
"An excellent read. How to Win at Law School helped me to focus on what was important in order to bring in grades that I really don't think I would have been able to get without reading it. Now I am confident I will be able to transfer to a much higher ranked school and be competitive for some of the best jobs out of law school. The tips and strategies that the writer lays out are simple and straightforward, things that I should have thought of, but didn't. I have read other books and while I have found varying methods of success, this one actually helps one formulate a long term strategy that begins far before the final exam. Even if I had read this book in my last semester, it would have been worthwhile. It's definitely worth the $9."
