CACI No. 902
Duty of Common Carrier
Common carriers must carry passengers [or property] safely. Common
carriers must use the highest care and the vigilance of a very cautious
person. They must do all that human care, vigilance, and foresight
reasonably can do under the circumstances to avoid harm to passengers
[or property].
While a common carrier does not guarantee the safety of its passengers
[or property that it transports], it must use reasonable skill to provide
everything necessary for safe transportation, in view of the
transportation used and the practical operation of the business.
