Foreseeability in negligence refers to whether a reasonable person could have foreseen that their actions (or lack of action) could cause harm to another person. In terms of causation, a plaintiff must show that the harm caused was a foreseeable result of the defendant's actions in order to establish the necessary link between the defendant's conduct and the harm suffered by the plaintiff. If the harm was not foreseeable, it may be difficult to prove that the defendant's actions were the proximate cause of the injury.

If array is full how you apply linear search?
An array in C is structured so that it has no particular size; you have to know ahead of time what the dimensions are.So, a linear search means that you go from the first element to the last, either finding the element in the table, or going to the very last element and not finding it.Arrays in C can be zero-terminated, in which case you get the element that does not have a value, and that indicates the value you are searching for is not there.If the array is not zero terminated then you can calculate the dimension of the array, or apply the sizeof operator times the size of the first element to determine the length of the search.

Where can you find a list of court cases on the subject of school negligence?
The Legal Information Insitute at Cornell University is probably the best place to start looking for cases on any legal subject, including the subject of school negligence. Any search engine should give you the website. You might want to narrow your search by being a little more specific. Since the law on school negligence issues varies rather widely depending on the particular jurisdiction that you are in, I would try to narrow my questions on that basis. For example, schools are to a large extent immune from ordinary negligence in Pennsylvania; on the other hand, in New York (where I practice), the school laws - while by no means easy to satisfy - are more favorable. If you are interested in how they apply under New York law, you can certainly try looking up cases at the New York Courts' official site for reported decisions at http://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/lawReporting/Search, or you can search the school negligence blog at www.JonathanCooperLaw.com.
Can I be sued by an insurance company if I had an accident with their policyholder and I was uninsured?
Yes, the process is called "subrogation". When an insurer pays a claim on behalf of its own insured, it succeeds to the rights of the insured to the extent of its payment. That is, it can recover its payment from the at-fault party in the same way that the insured could have pursued the at-fault party. If the insurer's policyholder was at fault, in whole or in part, for the loss the insurer may recover only that portion of its payment for which its insured was not responsible. Some jurisdictions apply a pure comparative negligence analysis, where negligence is apportioned as a percentage between the parties. Other states use a contributory negligence analysis whereby if the insured was at all at fault, he/she, and therefore, his/her insurer, may not recover anything. Still other states apply a hybrid analysis. The location of the occurrence determines the law that applies.
