A Negligent Operator is someone who?

A Negligent Operator is someone who fails to exercise reasonable care in the operation of a vehicle or machinery, leading to accidents or injuries. This can include actions such as distracted driving, driving under the influence, or violating traffic laws. Their lack of attention or disregard for safety standards can result in legal liability for any damages caused. Essentially, it reflects a failure to act as a prudent operator would in similar circumstances.


Can you sue for falling down steps?

More than likely, yes. First, make sure you took due caution to avoid a slip and fall. Such things like not using the railing provided right down to simply not watching where you step to make sure you step on the step can cause you to lose your case. Most insurance companies will take care of your medical bills if you show you were not negligent and the property owner followed all the safety laws such as having an appropriately placed handrail, keeping the steps clear of debris as much as humanly possible and keeping the steps in good repair. If, however, the property owner has been negligent in some way and you can prove it, you may have an additional case against the property owner for pain and suffering damages. For this, it would be best to consult with a lawyer as different cities have different laws concerning the responsibility of the property owner.


What is an electrostatic discharge and why does it occur?

A VERY BIG PROBLEM practically all electronics are restricted to voltages no greater 40 50 volts electrostatic can be as much as 5kv to 50 kv but the source impedance is very hi so while the voltage is there current capabilities are not a low impedance device can possibly survive these discharges but a hi impedance device like MOS cannot survive since the negligent current will raise the potential very hi blowing the device.


What is the maximum gpm through half inch copper pipe at 25 psi?

When you say 1/2" are you talking about 5/8 OD or nominal size and which type of copper? K /L/ M as there is friction looses to consider I am referring to 1/2" nominal type L copper pipe, and the friction loss is negligent because the section of 1/2 inch tubing is only 2" nipples on either side of a electric shut off valve. The actual set-up is 1" PVC supply at 65psi, reduction fitting to 3/4" into a pressure redusing valve, 3/4" out of the valve through another reduction fitting to 1/2" into and through the shut-off valve, then into the furnace. Distance from the first 1' to 3/4" reducer to the furnace is only a distance of about 14". Hope this helps.


What is the cost to change fuse box to a circuit breaker?

Hire an electrician. The fuse box is the main distribution point of your elecrical system. If installed wrong it will set your house on fire. It will be inspected when you sell your home and if you do it wrong the inspector will force you to have it fixed by a professional. This is not worth trying to do it yourself. There is to much at stake and too many people will be watching (Don't forget you will have to notify the power company to shut your power off, so you can't fly "under the radar".) If you mess up grounding or switch a wire it will make every electrical device in your house unsafe. This is a big job, and not one for someone inexperienced. Finally, I will add do it right or don't do it at all. If you are negligent you could easily kill someone through fire or electrocution. If you read and do your homework and learn what it required you may find that small electrical repairs can be quick and easy. If you can't understand what you need to do hire an electrician. The cost of a professional is not worth the time you will waste if you don't understand what you are doing and the danger therein. This is not a small job, this is a major rework of the heart of your home electrical system. Hire a professional. If you are looking to convert your box simply for the convenience of flippng a switch when you blow a circuit, you can always choose to use a minibreaker, which is a eddison-type that can be reset with the push of a button. This often is a more cost effective solution.

In negligent entrustment cases must the driver also be negligent or is it only the employer or entrustor who must be negligent?

In negligent entrustment cases, the focus is primarily on the actions of the entrustor (such as an employer or vehicle owner) rather than the driver. The entrustor must be negligent in providing the vehicle to someone who is unfit to drive, typically due to factors like a lack of a valid license, a history of reckless driving, or impairment. The driver's own negligence may be considered in the overall case, but it is not a requirement for establishing negligent entrustment.
