Question:

Krista was a passenger in a rented van. She sustained injuries when the driver of the van slammed into a tree after the van’s brakes failed. The driver of the van was not an authorized driver pursuant to the rental agreement with the rental company. The driver’s brother-in-law signed the rental contract; he was not in the van at the time of the crash. He gave the driver of the van, his sister-in-law, permission to drive the van; however, he failed to list his sister-in-law as an authorized driver on the rental contract. Krista wishes to file a lawsuit against the rental company under two legal theories: strict liability and breach of warranty. Do you think Krista will be successful in pursuing her legal claims? Explain.
