摘要

摘要在具有里程碑意义的麦克弗森诉别克案中，一家汽车公司因疏忽而被追究责任，尽管该公司与受伤司机缺乏隐私。四十年后，在Henningsenv。Bloomfield Motors，法院认为，即使在涉及身体伤害的案件中，汽车公司的标准保修也将其责任限制在维修和更换上，这是不合理的。这就提出了一个难题：如果公司很容易签订合同而不承担责任，那么麦克弗森做了什么吗？

The MacPherson-Henningsen Puzzle

Abstract In the landmark case of MacPherson v. Buick, an automobilecompany was held liable for negligence notwithstanding a lack of privity withthe injured driver. Four decades later, in Henningsenv. Bloomfield Motors, the court held unconscionable the standard automobilecompany warranty which limited its responsibility to repair and replacement,even in a case involving physical injury. This suggests a puzzle: if it were soeasy for firms to contract out of liability, did MacPherson accomplish anything?
