Louise arrived for a two-week vacation at a Mexican resort. She spent the day at the beach and, upon returning to her room, found a bottle in the fridge containing a dear liquid. Louise assumed the liquid was water and started to drink from the bottle. It turns out that a member of the cleaning staff had inadvertently left a bottle of caustic cleaning solution in the fridge in Louise's room and this is what Louise had drunk. Louise suffered extensive injury and required emergency surgery to remove some of her esophagus. Louise wants to sue the cleaning staff member who left cleaning solution in Louise's fridge. Will this action be successful? Does the cleaning staff member have any defences?
