Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Street Bikes can be considered negligent for not exercising due care to make the bicycle safe, which resulted in Theo's injury. Therefore, the company can be held liable for negligence. Assumption of risk would apply if Theo voluntarily assumed the risk of using the bicycle despite knowing about the danger. Commonly known danger would apply if the danger of using the bicycle was an obvious and commonly known one. Product misuse would apply if Theo used the bicycle in a way that was not intended or warned against by Street Bikes, but this is not mentioned in the scenario.
