    North Carolina has contributory liability statute. It is obvious except to Harman that her client is the neglience party. Her client owes the State of North Carolina for the damages.

    Under product liability, North Carolina provides the consumer strict liability protection. It sounds bad for the consumer, however, it is very harsh on the manufacturer and liberal coverage for the consumer. The base doctrine is a consumer wouldn’t intensionally buy a product knowing it would injury himself. The only except has been cigarettes.

    In this case Harman’s client isn’t the consumer.

    Besides, use a little logic. At 70 mph a person drives 70 miles in one hour. At 80 mph a person drives 80 miles in one. To drive 280 mile at 70 mph takes 4 hours. At 80 mph it takes 3.5 hours. Thus saving only 30 minutes. After weaving through traffic at 80 mph, adjusting to fluctunating traffic and weather, and car wasn’t designed to guarantee passenger safety at 80 mph car’s speedometer may have 120 mph on it.

    Harman may see the guardrail industry has a easier prey than the auto makers.
