Episode 30: Cartoon Railway Negligence
1Description
Join Boozy and his certified legal layman, Alkali, as they discuss another case known to lawyers the world over - Palsgraf v. Long Island Railroad Company.
What happens when a middle-aged housekeeper takes a train to the beach with her daughters on a hot New York August day, then two men try to board a train late carrying a non-descript package that they drop while the housekeeper is standing next to some scales ten feet away? A series of events straight out of cartoon slapstick followed by multiple hearings on the matter and a decision that will explain the concepts of duty of care, foreseeability, and proximate cause!
