According to my conclusion, Ling's can be blamed for carelessness. By definition, a tort of carelessness happens when somebody endures damage on account of another's inability to surrender over to a required obligation of care. In our case, by owning an open space, the administration is at risk to ensure that clients and workers have a protected domain. The supervisor realized that the water on the floor may be a potential safety risk and did not take any measures to caution the client. So, this way, the chief broke the obligation of care. Kim endured legitimately unmistakable damage (in the event that she got a specialist's note) caused by the director's carelessness.
