Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

A motorist negligently struck a pedestrian who was jaywalking across a busy city street. Although the pedestrian suffered serious injuries to their leg as a result of the collision, they received delayed medical treatment due to hospital overcrowding, which significantly worsened the injury. The pedestrian sues the motorist, alleging negligence. To succeed, what requirement must the pedestrian establish with regard to the injury?

  • The motorist is responsible for the initial injury, and the delay in medical treatment breaks the chain of causation.

  • The motorist's liability depends on whether the pedestrian was jaywalking at the time of the accident.

  • The motorist's negligent act was the factual and proximate cause of the pedestrian's injuries despite the hospital's delayed treatment.

  • The motorist's negligence was a necessary step in the sequence of events that caused the pedestrian's injuries.
