Question

Plywood & Particleboard Mill, Inc., does not use filters on its stacks, which consequently pollute the air. Quinn, a Plywood employee, suffers respiratory illness. To succeed in a suit against the company on the ground of negligence, Quinn must show that he suffers from​ _______.

Answer 1

Plywood's failure to reasonably care about its employees' health. In this case, Plywood's disdain towards Quinn's health resulted in him suffering from respiratory illness.

Before suing Plywood, Quinn will probably have to go through Plywood's workers' compensation system. If he is not satisfied with what the company offers him, then he can sue for compensatory damages.
