“There is no way those soft rolls “cause” a cornea detachment without a major preexisting condition. Still, as we have seen, the expenses of a lawsuit get paid by the deepest pockets.”
I wondered about that myself. I’m not a doctor either, but I am a lawyer who started his career in insurance defense. If Lambert’s is found liable, a possible pre-existing condition won’t matter. Under our tort system, generally speaking, a wrongdoer must take his victim as he is found. This is an old principle of law that is sometimes called the “Eggshell Skull Rule” and it is applicable in strict liability, negligence, and intentional tort cases.
“The serving staff walks around with side dishes and it's all you can eat, including the rolls.”
How about the folks that are overweight, out of shape and diabetic that overeat because they don't have enough will power to stop eating are forcefed from the serving staff until they explode?
