Hill Ex Rel. Greer v. McDonald

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• stating that “one cannot escape liability for one’s own negligence merely because another person ... may have contributed to the injury by his wrongful or negligent act”
• “The law does not recognize a single proximate cause of every injury. There may be several causes concurring to produce the harm.”
• “Two persons whose concurrent negligence causes injury to a third are liable jointly and severally, and their liability will not be affected by the relative degree of negligence, or by the care required of each.”
• “Certainly, as a matter of logic, it is hard to see how a principal could still be held vicariously liable after the release of its agent, the only real wrongdoer. But the converse is not at all obvious.”
