Damages for future possibility of getting aids


A hospital employee was bitten by a prison inmate. She had three negative tests for HIV, which meant she had less than 1% chance of manifesting HIV /AIDS later. She sued for future damages for the possibility of catching AIDS.

What is the obstacle to her winning damages for future possibility of getting AIDS.

a. It's too speculative and unlikely

b. Fear of containing HIV can never be the basis of a lawsuit because of federal statutory law.

c. She is a nurse, so she cannot win a lawsuit based on a patient's attack. It goes with the territory.

d. There is no obstacle here. She could win her case, though her damages would be slight.
