It’s the yeast they can do.
Counsel for the plaintiff may allege they have a case for damages - but can they prove it?
I think the defense will punch it down.
I don’t like the idea of throwing food, but I have very serious doubts Ms. Tucker suffered any injury at all, much less $35K worth.
I have no idea what an actual jury would do.
What’s the legal term for “emotional distress inflicted by a flying piece of bread”?
Suppose the victim was so traumatized that he can no longer look at a roll without flashbacks? Substantial compensation is warranted.
Someone susceptible to that kind of emotional distress is generally referred to by the broader term “wussbag.” There can be some legal variations state by state.

Very Rye humor - soured my impression of you entirely.
Dough…!
Oh blé, the judge said in throwing out the case.
Well, that’s crummy.
Is the trial happening during Passover?
Surprised that this likely option has not been mentioned:
It will be settled out of court, depending on the evidence she can win the argument, but get very little after it is appealed. The risks are there for both parties to lose so I think this is what we will see here.
It seems to me that there isn’t a whole lot of difference between a loaf of seven-grain bread and a paving brick…
I would gladly throw in some money toward the defendant’s legal fees just to see this play out and receive periodic updates.
To be serious for a moment: there are really two issues here. The first is whether she assumed the risk of being eye-breaded when she went to this restaurant. Assumption of a known risk is a bar to recovery. The answer depends on the facts, really. What did she know?
The second is whether she could really have $10,000 in medical bills from being hit in the eye. The answer to that one s unequivocally yes. That’s less than the cost of a corneal replacement, let alone follow-up care and medication and what not.
There is a 99% chance the case will settle anyway. She’ll get at yeast a couple of grand.
Here’s theGoogle Maps image of the front of the restaurant. How does somebody NOT know that they throw rolls?
Asked to explain how the incident occurred, the restaurant’s manager replied “This is just how we roll.”
It could be worse. She could have gone to that market in Pike’s Place where they throw fish around.
Can we sue them for the use of a stupid domain name that offends grammar?
