The case of Medical Marijuana, Inc. v. Horn. The central question is whether economic losses stemming from personal injuries are recoverable under RICO. The petitioner argues that RICO excludes such claims, emphasizing the distinction between "injury" (invasion of a legal right) and "damages" (monetary losses resulting from injury). The respondent counters that loss of income due to a job loss resulting from a product defect constitutes an "injury to business or property" under RICO, regardless of any underlying personal injury. The justices extensively question both sides, exploring the definitions of "injury," "damages," and "proximate cause" within the context of RICO and related statutes. Ultimately, the Court must determine the proper scope of RICO's application to cases involving both personal and economic harm.
