Using the following facts, write an internal informational report to your company's President, Michael Spangler. • Your company operates in California • The four accidents occurred in different cities across the state (Chico, Turlock, San Diego, and Lancaster) and on different dates and times (you make up the dates and times) • Each accident resulted in damage not only to the truck (specific damages and dollar amount of the damage is up to you) but to the cargo as well (specify the type of cargo and the dollar amount of losses from the cargo) • Only one of the accidents involved injury to a company driver (give the driver's name and specify the injury and his current condition) • Only one of the accidents involved another vehicle (make up the details of this). Give the make and year of the damaged car and its owner's name. • Your maintenance division traced all four of the accidents to faulty tires, all of the same brand (Flightfire Tire) and all purchased at Phil's Tire Depot in Modesto, CA. • The tires have now been replaced, and your insurance company, Acme Underwriters, has brought suit against the tire manufacturer to recover damages, including lost business while the four trucks were being repaired (specify the dollar amount of the lost business) Your report must include a recommendation section in which you recommend steps the company could take to prevent this type of incident from happening in the future.
