Definitions

The eggshell skull rule is a legal doctrine that holds a defendant liable for the full extent of a plaintiff's injury, even if the plaintiff had a pre-existing vulnerability or condition that made the injury worse than what would be expected in an average person. The rule means that a defendant 'takes their victim as they find them,' and cannot use the victim's fragility as a defense to reduce liability.
