*. Stella's Negligence Claim:
- Stella can likely recover for negligence as you had a duty to secure the soccer balls properly. Your failure to do so, causing Stella's injury, likely constitutes negligence.
*. Gregory's Negligence Claim:
- Gregory can also likely recover for negligence. Your failure to secure the soccer balls caused the chain of events leading to Gregory's injury.
*. Calvin's Intentional Tort Claim:
- Calvin may sue for battery, as intentionally kicking the ball caused it to hit him, resulting in physical harm (broken eyeglasses).
*. Defamation Claim against Jennifer:
- Defamation requires proving a false statement, published to a third party, causing harm. Jennifer's statement appears to be an opinion, making a defamation claim difficult.

use vocab words like liable, negligence, breach of duty, duty of care, proximity
Certainly! Here are the answers incorporating the requested vocabulary:
*. Stella's Negligence Claim:
- Stella can likely recover from you for negligence. You had a duty of care to secure the soccer balls properly. Your breach of this duty, leading to Stella's injury, likely makes you liable for negligence.
*. Gregory's Negligence Claim:
- Gregory can also likely recover from you for negligence. Your breach of duty in securing the soccer balls caused a chain of events leading to Gregory's injury. The proximity of your negligence to Gregory's harm makes you liable.
*. Calvin's Intentional Tort Claim:
- Calvin may sue for battery, as you intentionally kicked the ball, which resulted in physical contact (hitting him) and caused damage (broken eyeglasses). This intentional act likely makes you liable for the tort of battery.
*. Defamation Claim against Jennifer:
- To prove defamation, you must show a false statement was made, published to a third party, causing harm. Jennifer's statement appears to be an opinion rather than a factual assertion, making it challenging to prove her liable for defamation.
