The teenager rode his/her bike up a hill that suddenly dropped off because Fraser Sand and Gravel Ltd. had removed a portion of the hill for their gravel operations.

Answer:

Given that a teenager was dirt biking in a gravel pit got injured which was operated by Fraser Sand and Gravel ltd. The teenager rode his/ her bike up a hill that suddenly dropped off because Fraser Sand and Gravel ltd had removed a portion of the hill for their gravel operations.

While we consider the facts of the case, assuming that teenager and the company got into a contract for allowing a teenager to use gravel pit for some consideration. Also Fraser Sand and Gravel ltd had already informed teenager that portion of hill is under construction or maintenance.

Even after informing a teenager about such precaution, a teenager got injured then Fraser Sand and Gravel ltd is not liable for any action for negligence.

If any of the above measure i.e contract not entered or company has not informed teenager then Fraser Sand and Gravel ltd might be liable for negligence.
