question

A doctor parked her car in a public parking lot in a downtown area. A construction company was using a large crane to build a new office building next to the parking lot. When the crane was manufactured, some of the welding of its parts was done improperly. No one had ever noticed this manufacturing defect in the crane. The defect caused the crane to break and topple over. Part of the crane fell on the doctor's car. The doctor's car was completely destroyed. The car was valued at 35,000.Thedoctorhadautoinsurance,andtheinsurancecompanypromptlypaidthedoctor35,000. The doctor had auto insurance, and the insurance company promptly paid the doctor 35,000 under the insurance policy. If the doctor brings suit against the manufacturer of the crane, will the doctor prevail?
