Bickle’s Cab Company owns and operates a fleet of taxis. Last autumn, one of its cars was involved in an unfortunate incident. The driver almost ran into Jody DeNiro, a bike courier, as she emerged from an alleyway. Although DeNiro was entirely at fault for that near-accident, she was the one who became furious. She kicked the taxi’s door repeatedly before being restrained by a passerby. The damage to the car consisted of a large dent and scraped paint. Bickle’s Cab Co then parked the damaged vehicle in an outdoor lot for the winter. When it re-examined the car in the spring, it found extensive rust damage. That damage would not have occurred if the car had been promptly repaired. It is clear that DeNiro intentionally interfered with the car. There is, however, a disagreement regarding the amount of compensation that she will have to pay. The evidence indicates a number of things. Immediately before the accident, the car was worth $7000. Immediately after the accident, the car was worth $5000. The cost of repairs at that time would have been $3000. Because of the rust damage, the car is now worth $2000. It would now cost $6000 to fully repair it. A new car of the same model can be purchased for $15 000. How much is Bickle’s Cab Co entitled to receive?
