Question

Woeste ate raw oysters at a restaurant and died a week later from the bacteria Vibrio vulnificus. The bacteria naturally occur in oysters from warm water. Vibrio has no effect on most people, but can be fatal to people with a weak immune system—as Woeste had due to Hepatitis C and cirrhosis of the liver. The restaurant menu warned of the danger of eating raw oysters, especially for persons with "chronic illness of the liver." Woeste ordered without reading the menu warning. His estate sued the restaurant and the Texas company that harvested the oysters for negligence and strict liability. What is the likely outcome?

Answer 2

Answer:

The restaurant is not liable to the charges by the estate of Woeste

Step-by-step explanation:

Woeste ate raw oysters at the restaurant, and he knows that he had

Hepatitis C and cirrhosis of the liver, which are serious health challenges, this however caused the bacteria Vibrio vulnificus which lead to his death.

The restaurant menu warned of the danger of eating raw oysters, especially for persons with "chronic illness of the liver." Woeste ordered without reading the menu warning.

This is woeste fault because he failed to read the instructions. So the restaurant are not guilty of the woeste death, because on a normal basis oyster doesn't lead to death. But consumption by people with health challenges can lead to death.
