A railway worker rushed to help a late-arriving passenger board a train. The passenger carried a plain, wrapped cardboard box with no label or odor. As the worker pushed the passenger from behind, the box slipped, fell, and unexpectedly exploded because it contained illegal fireworks. The shock wave knocked loose a decorative clock at the far end of the platform, injuring a commuter standing 90 feet away.
In the commuter's negligence action against the railway, is the commuter likely to establish that the worker owed her a duty based on the shove?

Choose the Best Answer

No, because a defendant never owes a duty when a third party brings dangerous property onto the premises. No, because the worker's conduct did not create a foreseeable risk of physical harm to a person standing that far away from an unmarked package. Yes, because the package exploded, and explosions always establish breach as a matter of law. Yes, because a negligent act toward one person creates a duty to every person who is later injured by any chain of events.
