Bhaiya's Bike Blunder: A Law of Torts Conundrum

Suppose, bhaiya (my brother) is riding his bike on a busy Mumbai street, lost in a podcast, and accidentally knocks over a vendor's cart full of fresh fruits, causing a mess and damaging the cart. The vendor sues bhaiya for damages. Would bhaiya be liable under the Law of Torts? What if the vendor had been negligent in leaving the cart unattended on a busy street? Can we apply the concept of contributory negligence here? And what's the threshold for breach of duty of care? If bhaiya had no actual knowledge of the vendor's cart, but was still driving recklessly, would that change the outcome? What if the vendor had a history of similar incidents? Let's explore this chaotic scenario and figure out the legal consequences of bhaiya's bike blunder!
