Many of you have probably heard about the recent story of a man with XDR Tuberculosis, getting on a jet plane and flying to Europe knowing that he could potentially spread this horrible disease to others. He then traveled back across the border into the United States in a car. He has subsequently become the first person in 40 years to be the subject of a Federal Quarantine.
What makes this story unique at least to me is that Andrew Speaker is a Personal Injury Lawyer. He should have known better. Click here to visit his law firm website.
There are two main issues to this story. The main issue is the potential risk of harm that Attorney Speaker could have caused to others by his willful and wanton disregard for others including his new wife; the second issue is the personal tragedy of a man infected with this horrible disease. This opinion editorial will concentrate on the potential risk of harm that Attorney Speaker could have caused to others, and his potential legal liability.
I first ask this question; what would an ordinary prudent person do if they were just diagnosed with XDR Tuberculosis? I venture to guess that an ordinary prudent person under the circumstances would seek out medical treatment, and do everything they could to get better. Most people would probably get a second or third opinion from doctors, and follow their doctor’s advice to a tee. They certainly would not get on a jet plane, travel in close quarters with others to Europe, and go get married. I wonder if he kissed his new bride during the marriage.
The second question that really bothers me is what would a learned personal injury lawyer knowing the law, do under similar circumstances? Probably not what Attorney Speaker did!
