Exercise 21

T. Dunphy Inc. was a carrier that was to deliver steel industrial filters approximately eleven feet by eleven feet and weighing 2,000 pounds, from Casteine Energy Construction Inc's factory in Maine to Virginia. To help load the filters onto trailers, Casteine welded iron crossbars on them. Castine them loaded onto a flatbed trailer. Castine did not intend the crossbars to be used to secure the filters to the trailers. However, Dunphy's driver arrived and secured the filters to the trailer by attaching chains to the iron crossbars. While driving to Virginia, the driver drove over a bump in the highway. The filters came loose, fell onto the highway, and were irreparably damaged. Castine sued Dunphy. Who suffers the loss?
