Laureano v. Louzoun case brief

LAUREANO v. LOUZOUN

FACTS
Defendant, a landlord, did not maintain hot water heater properly, which Pl. alleges was the cause of her putting two pots of water to boil, banging them both together, and water being caused to spill out onto her knee and feet.

APPLICATION
-The Def.’s failure to provide heat and hot water to the premises was not the proximate cause, as a matter of law, of the injuries sustained by the Pl.
-The act of boiling water was not the direct cause of the injuries.

RULE
Foreseeability
When a defendant’s conduct is a cause-in-fact of a Pl.’s harm, the foreseeability approach treats the conduct as a proximate cause of the harm if the possibility of that harm was within the range of risks that supported the original characterization of the def.’s conduct as negligent.

While in law school I traveled the world.  Puerto Rico.  Egypt.  Israel.  The Netherlands.  All over the United States.  Costa Rica.  Panama... How, you ask?  I found ways to make money on the side.  One of those ways was hosting my apartment on AirBnB.  If you have an extra room, this is a perfect way to make some extra cash.


Since law school, I have traveled to dozens of countries for pleasure with my family.  It's not rocket science.  You just need to know how to start some side hustles.  Another one of my favorite ways to make money is buying and selling stocks and cryptocurrency on Robinhood.  Join now and get a free stock through this link:  Join Robinhood and Get a Free Stock!
