Michigan woman can sue restaurant for 'bizarre' dispenser accident
DETROIT — A Michigan woman whose hand was broken while she was reaching for toilet paper can sue a restaurant over her injury.
The case is dividing the Michigan Supreme Court. The court's liberal majority says a jury should decide whether the dispenser created an unreasonable risk of harm at Texas Roadhouse in Taylor.
The court's three conservative justices say there should be no liability for ordinary accidents.

Sheri Schooley says it's a "bizarre story." She says the cover on the dispenser fell on her right hand, breaking it.
This is part of what's wrong with this country...making millionaires out of idiots by stealing other peoples money.
ReplyDeleteI'll never understand how a crazy fluke incident that no one could ever predict or imagine happening is someone's "fault" and thus they are financially liable. I'm in the restaurant biz, a lot of owners are hard working middle class people and don't deserve to be sued for tons of money because of one crazy accident.
ReplyDeleteMost of these accidents are intentional .
ReplyDeleteThis is riduculous. Is every accident now a suable offense. Her sense of entitlement is showing.
ReplyDeleteThe restaurant should sue her for damaging their property.
ReplyDeleteMany of these accidents are intentional
ReplyDeletewouldn't the restaurants insurance cover this?
ReplyDeleteyes 4:17 but then their premiums go through the roof making turning a profit virtually impossible
ReplyDeleteIt would have been better for corporate to settle out of court. If they had, we probably wouldn't be reading this.
ReplyDeleteThis wouldn't fly at all in Maryland. Maryland has "contributory negligence". If the injured person contributes at all to their injury, they lose.
