 Molinari v. Tuskegee University
To support her claim that Tuskegee and Bellamy wantonly disregarded students' safety, Molinari offers evidence that Bellamy was aware that the cow had previously suffered a spinal fracture but still instructed students to continue with a modified version of the surgical procedure.
Tuskegee and Bellamy also assert that they are not liable to Molinari because she assumed a known and appreciated risk when she attempted to perform the surgical procedure.
To prove Molinari assumed the risk that caused her injury, Tuskegee and Bellamy's evidence must satisfy two elements: (1) Molinari knew and appreciated the danger that the cow was harmful; and (2) Molinari voluntarily consented to bear the risk posed by that danger.
