CASE BRIEF - Palsgraf v. Long Island R. Co.

Welcome back to another Case Brief where we unpack the famous, fascinating, confusing, and downright strange cases and opinions.  This week, we’re hopping aboard the 1920s express to New York for one of the most iconic cases of all time: Palsgraf v. Long Island Railroad Co., 248 N.Y. 339 N.Y. (1928). It’s the story of an innocent woman waiting for her train, a secret package of explosives, and and exploding tran station that forced courts to ask: how far does liability really go—and can an accident be so random it’s no one’s fault? Join us as we explain the chain of chaos  that rewrote the rules of negligence and changed the course of tort law forever.The information provided in this podcast is for informational and entertainment purposes only.
