Melissa is moving to a new city and has to put her belongings in storage while she looks for a new apartment and lives out of a hotel. Melissa rents a storage unit from Safety Storage, Inc. and signs a multi-page written contract that includes a sentence in the middle of the document stating that Safety Storage, Inc. is not liable for any loss or damage, even if caused by Safety Storage's negligence. Shortly after, a Safety Storage employee negligently causes a fire that destroys the warehouse, including the unit Melissa rented and all of her belongings inside of it. If Melissa sues Safety Storage for the value of her property in the storage unit, will she likely win?

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that in this situation if Melissa sues then she is likely to win because more often than not a court will reject an exculpatory clause against a bailor who is a consumer. An exculpatory clause is a contract clause absolves one party of all liability if damages were caused during the act of completing or meeting the requisites of the contract.
