  • “Navigating Multi-State Tort Law: Understanding Jurisdiction and Enforcement of Judgments” Navigating Multi-State Tort Law: Understanding Jurisdiction and Enforcement of Judgments Introduction Businesses often operate across state lines, which can lead to legal issues

    As we learned last week, businesses are often engaged in commerce across State lines, and rarely are businesses (even small, local businesses) solely “doing business” in their own state. So, as a business manager, its important for you to have an understanding of potential multi-State legal issues.
    For this week’s assignment, we will focus on Tort Law as it pertains to a multi-State scenario. You are encouraged to use external research for this assignment. Here is the context:
    Context
    Bernie, a Vermont resident, is sued by Donald, a New York resident, for a tort related to negligence. The case is in state court.
    Questions
    Why would a plaintiff in New York with a case against a Vermont defendant prefer to have the case heard in New York?
    How can a New York Court have jurisdiction over a Vermont defendant?
    After a New York state court trial in which Bernie appears and vigorously defends himself, the New York state court awards Donald $1.5M dollars in damages for his tort claim. In trying to collect from Bernie in Vermont, Donald must have the Vermont court certify the New York judgment. Why, ordinarily, must the Vermont court do so?
    Include at least three
    external references to support your claims. Use APA format. Include a References page at the end
    of the paper

  • Title: “Understanding Duty of Care in the Workplace: Examples and Responsibilities for Managers”

    As a manager in a business setting, you should be keenly aware of how the law impacts your job and the professional lives of your employees.
    Negligence in an employment situation is exceedingly rare because of workers’ compensation, which replaces employees’ traditional tort remedies with an employer-paid-for administrative remedy. Workers’ compensation does not measure an injury by negligence standards and instead is a “no-fault” system. Neither the employee nor the employer has a choice to use the traditional legal system for a work injury.
    As a result, businesses in the United States owe a duty to exercise a reasonable degree of care (Duty of Care) to protect the public and employees from foreseeable risks that the owner knew or should have known about. Common Examples of Duty of Care An employee has work-related Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) from repetitive hand movements. Symptoms include shooting pains in the hands, wrists and forearms. An example of duty of care is providing that worker with a specialist keyboard that allows them to complete tasks at work.
    An employee was involved in a car accident and is now confined to a wheelchair. Your duty of care, in this case, is to ensure the employee has access to any services or facilities your able-bodied employees have access to. You’ll need to provide wheelchair access and perhaps even reorganize aspects of the work environment. This is to ensure your disabled employees have just as many opportunities as your able-bodied workers.
    You also have a legal duty to protect your employees from excessive levels of stress. One of the ways to do this is with a risk assessment. If upon completion of the assessment you discover areas within the business where employees experience high levels of stress, you have a duty of care to take steps to alleviate the causes. For This DiscussionRefer to your place of work for this discussion, or a prior place of work. (STORE MANAGER AT XFINITY RETAIL STORE)
    Provide two examples of Duty of Care provided by your organization. Explain each and provide real-world examples.
    As a manager in an organization, what role do you play in Duty of Care cases?
