POOLE v. COPLAND, INC.

No. 145PA97.

498 S.E.2d 602 (1998)

348 N.C. 260

Wendy H. POOLE v. COPLAND, INC. and John Haynes.

Supreme Court of North Carolina.

May 8, 1998.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Daniel H. Monroe and Hunt and White by Octavis White, George Hunt, and Andrew Hanford, Graham, for plaintiff-appellant.

Tuggle Duggins & Meschan, P.A. by J. Reed Johnston, Jr., and Denis E. Jacobson, Greensboro, for defendant-appellant.

WEBB, Justice.

This case brings to the Court a question as to the application of the "thin skull" rule. This rule provides that if the defendant's misconduct amounts to a breach of duty to a person of ordinary susceptibility, he is liable for all damages suffered by the plaintiff notwithstanding the fact that these damages were unusually extensive because of the peculiar susceptibility of the plaintiff. Lockwood v. McCaskill, 262 N.C. 663
