Texas Roadhouse "apparently also had a legal duty to inspect for hazards that could not reasonably have been anticipated, such as a toilet paper dispenser opening unexpectedly," Markman wrote sarcastically....

She should file a class action lawsuit against the toilet paper dispenser company (in China?), not the bar with the defective device.

I don’t understand how this caused her long term injury.

If she didn’t have a significant injury the case does not get to the Michigan Supreme Ct unless the laws are prohibitive from persuing a legitimate case....bad laws make bad cases - or vice versa. Or the Ct is crazy as has been for the Michigan republican Supreme Ct.

I’m waiting to read a version of one of those experiences where the hole turns out to be something else and that the main figure in the tale just didn’t see the water closet. Perhaps he gets caught in the act by some irate janitor.

She’s lucky she didn’t ask Sheryl Crow for some TP.

Spoken by someone who has obviously never been permanently injured... if I were you, I’d be very careful about how you judge others. Sometimes life can be very cruel, indeed.

She may not have had a permanent injury if she had gone to an emergency room as soon as she realized that she couldn’t even eat her dinner.

Obviously she was trying to use her broken hand for days after the accident instead of going straight to the doctor.

Sounds to me like she’s trying an anterior cashectomy on the restaurant’s bank account.
