Question for the Attorney's here.


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Last year in Jackson, there was a case returned from the Court of Appeals to the original venue relative to a lady who was kidnapped and had her vehicle stolen in the Old Hickory Mall Parking lot. Basic facts were she sued the Mall for lack of security. The lower court held the Mall not responsible, but the Appellate court disagreed.

How do I find out the final dispensation of that case? Nothing was ever printed in the paper, and I would assume that the case was settled to keep from garnering extra publicity.

The Mall is posted. In the paper today is an article about an armed robbery occurring in their parking lot just after noon yesterday. I wonder if that earlier case would be of importance to this issue?

Mall Security in Tennessee Parking Lot: Can a Security Company Be Civilly Liable for the Criminal Activities of Others?

A Tennessee appeals court recently held that a security company can be civilly liable if it fails in its voluntarily assumed duty to reasonably protect patrons and employees from foreseeable risks of harm.

In a suit against Old Hickory Mall in Jackson, Tennessee, the plaintiff employee alleged that she was abducted by two juveniles in a mall parking lot and forced into the backseat. The juveniles took a joy ride, and, several hours and one wreck later, decided to ditch the stolen vehicle. The plaintiff and her husband then brought suit against the Mall and the Mall’s contracted security company.
