Practice question
Two workers cause similar injuries in separate incidents. The first deliberately and unlawfully pushes a heavy object onto a victim intending the injury. The second has no intent to injure but causes injury through proved negligent handling and omitted precautions. Both claim that the similarity of injuries means their mental states must be identical. Which is best?
- Both incidents necessarily involve dolo.
- Both incidents necessarily involve culpa.
- Neither can be examined because injuries are similar.
- The first implicates dolo and the second culpa; similar outcomes do not erase the established difference in intent and fault.
- Both are necessarily exempt accidents.
