Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitsu can sue John for negligence because John had a duty of care to not drive impaired and he breached that duty by driving while impaired, causing damage to Mitsu's property. This is a separate legal action from the criminal proceedings and can result in compensation for Mitsu's damages. The other options are incorrect as Mitsu can sue John and there is no mention of punitive damages or the limitation of only one court action.
