Witness has just published a new article called DOOR INJURIES & "The
Eggshell Plaintiff".
Here is an excerpt from the article:
"As discovery has often shown, people in poor physical or mental condition
who are left unattended or unassisted in doorways are often the genesis
of their own injuries. All commercial venues have the responsibility to
maintain their facilities to industry wide standards, seek proper routine
maintenance, and provide daily inspections of their door systems. However,
it is difficult to provide safe passage to every patron of their facilities
when some of those patrons may include persons requiring diligent physical
supervision, special assistance walking, or have special needs due to
disease, mental incapacity, or other unknown infirmities."
