Does a defendant have a duty of care to prevent a collision between a car and a parked vehicle?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Hatch v. Ford Motor Co., 163 Cal.App.2d 393, 329 P.2d 605 (Cal. App. 1958):
The vehicle in question here, in the condition in which it way by the complaint alleged to be, was safe to park and could cause no harm except to one whose own acts or the acts of some third person caused him to collide with it. Such a risk is not one which the defendant was required to anticipate or to protect against. Richards v. Stanley, supra, 43 Cal.2d 60, 65-67, 271 P.2d 23.
