Marco O'Leary is a motorcycle enthusiast. One Sunday while driving down Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn, New York on his motorcycle, he drives over a piece of wood with a protruding nail left on the road by a construction company that was doing work on Dinky and the Dog Hot Dog Stand. Not realizing that the nail punctured his front tire, Marco makes the faithful decision to enter onto the Belt Parkway on his way to the local vape shop. After driving five miles on the Belt Parkway, Marco loses control of his motorcycle and strikes a truck. The truck struck by Marco then hits a car driven by James Abbondanza who is driving with his daughter Lucia, to after school tutoring. James and Lucia Abbondanza are seriously injured, while the truck and its driver escaped without injury or damage.
When analyzing this fact pattern, please assume that you are an attorney, and you plan to represent James Abbondanza. When drafting your answer, please make sure that you focus on the information, factual and legal research, needed to assess any claims present in the fact pattern.
