James R. Termini v. United States

How courts have described this case

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

• evaluating likelihood of injury not just for reasonable drivers but also for drivers with reduced concentration or dealing with poor weather or equipment problems
• stating that “[a] cliff at the end of a dirt road that is not visible from the beginning of the road would certainly seem to qualify for a warning sign under . . . guidelines” directing the government to warn of hazardous conditions
• “a reasonable person standing in the shoes of the United States would have recognized the probability of an accident eventually occurring on the spur”
• \That only two vehicles per day typically use the spur [road] seems to us much less important than the fact that it abruptly terminates at a cliff.\
• United States Forest Service’s failure to post a warning sign where its own manual indicated that it should do so was evidence that it had constructive knowledge of the significant risk created by its actions
