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

• concluding that res ipsa loquitur doctrine did not apply in context of broken water pipe because break equally could have been caused by natural, unpredictable ground shifts as by party’s negligence
• noting that “because application of the [res ipsa loquitur ] doctrine does not require evidence of a specific act of negligence, the focus is not on the ‘alleged negligent act’ but on the nature of the accident or injury”
• negligence claim concerning aircraft turbine engine mechanic required expert testimony because “[t]he 25 performance of mechanical work on turbine aircraft engines is not within the experience of a layman”
• allegedly defective valve in 30-year-old aircraft engine
