Practice question
A contractor leaves an unguarded trench at a busy path. A delivery operator negligently pushes a cart into a pedestrian, who falls into the trench. The evidence establishes both acts combined naturally in the single injury, neither displaced the other, and both actors are liable for quasi-delict. Which is correct?
- Only the contractor can ever be causal
- Only the cart operator can ever be causal
- The lack of agreement defeats concurrent responsibility
- Both may be concurrently responsible and Article 2194 supplies solidarity on the stated liability findings
- The injury must be split into invented unrelated events
