Mrs. Jones and her young son returned home from a shopping trip last Saturday. She pulled into her driveway, opened the garage door, put the SUV in park and they got out to unload their packages, which were in the back of the vehicle. She opened the rear hatch and as she handed a bag to 7-year-old Timmy, the SUV backed up and ran over Timmy and Mrs. Jones. Both were catastrophically injured.

Mr. Brown was sitting in the bleachers, watching his daughter’s softball game when another parent sitting next to him screamed that her cellphone was on fire; she jumped up and tossed the phone onto Mr. Brown’s lap. Mr. Brown suffered serious burn injuries.
