Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Trioka Corp. had a duty to adopt security measures given the history of criminal activities in its apartment complex, and their failure to do so breached this duty. This breach was the actual cause of the tenant's injuries as the criminal intruder was able to easily enter the complex. Additionally, the injuries suffered by the tenant were foreseeable as they were the type of harms that could result from the lack of security measures. Therefore, Trioka Corp. is liable for both proximate cause and actual cause of the tenant's injuries.
