Boadle, and its evolution through landmark decisions involving exploding soda bottles, surgical mishaps, and more.
Whether you’re curious about how courts decide negligence without direct evidence or want to understand the modern challenges this doctrine faces, this episode offers an engaging and comprehensive breakdown. Tune in to discover how Res Ipsa applies to everything from everyday accidents to cutting-edge technology!
