principle in a tort law that a defendant is still liable for a plaintiff’s injuries even if that person is unusually prone to injury by birth or some other condition. As a result, for example, if a plaintiff has skull bones as thin as an eggshell, but the defendant breaks it, the defendant is still liable. “A tortfeasor takes a plaintiff as he finds him” is the related maxim often stated.
