The Careless Driver
Context
Marcus, a delivery driver running late, drives through a red light and collides with Priya's legally parked car. Priya, still inside, suffers whiplash and a fractured wrist. She misses six weeks of work as a freelance pianist. Medical evidence confirms the injuries were caused by the collision. Marcus argues Priya should not have been sitting in her car on a busy road.
