Arrion McClellan was using an underarm-aerosol deodorant one morning while smoking a cigarette. The deodorant had this warning i
n large letters on the side of the can: DO NOT USE AROUND HEAT, FLAME OR WHILE SMOKING. The deodorant ignited McClellans cigarette in her hand and the flames quickly spread to her silk robe. McClellan was severely burned and will have permanent scarring. Who is liable for her injuries?
Liability can be defined as legal responsibility regarding an issue, so it is extremely important to be familiar with all the facts.
In this particular case, the manufacturer of the deodorant clearly and in large letters wrote a warning about possible dangers so he can't be considered liable for the accident.
However, if this hadn't been the case, McClellan would've had the right to take some legal actions.
This way, she alone is responsible for the accident and the consequences.
If that acute sports injury results in unconsciousness, there is a high probability that it's caused by neurological problem and should be brought to emergency as soon as possible
If you are not clear in your values (what you stand for or believe in), then you will be more likely to follow a poor or negative path. The saying: "if you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything" applies here.
