PLEASE APPLY TORT LAW,

THE ANSWER SHOULD BE IN 4 PARTS - ISSUE, RELEVANT LAW, APPLICATION AND CONCLUTION.

Workmen employed by the defendant Gurpreet Construction, had been working on a manhole cover, and then proceeded to take a break, leaving the hole encased in a tent with lights left nearby to make the area visible to oncoming vehicles. Two young boys, the claimants, encountered the uncovered and unattended man hole and proceeded to climb down to see inside of it, bringing with them one of the paraffin lamps left out by the workmen. The lamp was subsequently dropped and caused a significant explosion which left both of the boys with extensive injuries from the fire. The Claimants are suing the defendants for damages of $2 million. The defendant is arguing in court that the company put everything in place to make sure that no one got hurt. The accident was also unforeseeable. Advise Gurpreet Construction on their chances in court.
