Answer to Question 1

Answer should include discussion of assumption of risk (walking on a known slippery, icy sidewalk), comparative negligence and contributory negligence (plaintiff somehow contributed to own injury), states have one defense or the other, and superseding event (defendant claims something else happened to truly cause plaintiff's injury).

Answer to Question 2

FALSE

The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
