Thin Skull Rule & Eggshell Skull
Dallas Lawyer Michael Grossman Discusses The Thin Skull & Eggshell Skull Rules
The thin skull rule, also known as the eggshell skull rule, holds a defendant responsible for the consequences of his actions and/or inaction that cause injury to another. The thin skull rule is used in situations where the victim sustains an unusually high degree of injury due to a pre-existing medical condition or susceptibility.
The defendant is responsible for the injury caused to the plaintiff whether or not the defendant knew that the plaintiff had a pre-existing medical condition or was more likely to be harmed than a healthy plaintiff. The thin skull rule requires the defendant to take their victim as they find them, otherwise a defendant would be able to rely on the plaintiff’s own vulnerability to avoid liability for injury to the Plaintiff.
On many occasions, potential clients have come to my office concerned that their pre-existing medical issues will prohibit recovery for an injury suffered in an automobile accident or while at work.
Grossman Law Offices has more than twenty years of experience handling cases in which our clients have pre-existing conditions that have exacerbated injuries received after an accident. Grossman Law Offices will work with your prior medical providers to establish a link between your pre-existing medical condition or susceptibility and the injury caused by the defendant.
Don’t allow a pre-existing medical condition or susceptibility hamper your ability to recover damages for the injuries you received in an accident. Contact Grossman Law Offices and speak with one of the firm’s attorneys to assist you with your thin skull rule or eggshell rule claim.
