This video explains the Egg Shell Skull Rule. This legal principle holds defendants liable for all consequences of their actions, even if the victim has an unusual vulnerability or pre-existing medical condition. We discuss how this rule applies when a defendant's actions cause more severe damage than expected due to the victim's fragile condition.
Using the analogy of a person with a skull as delicate as an eggshell, we illustrate that the defendant remains responsible for all damages, regardless of whether the injury was foreseeable. This concept is crucial for understanding liability and compensation in personal injury cases. Key topics include:
Egg Shell Skull Rule - Definition and application in personal injury law.
Defendant's Liability - Accountability for all damages caused by their actions.
Unusually High Level of Damage - Impact of a victim's pre-existing vulnerabilities.
Foreseeability - How unforeseeable injuries affect liability.
