SIX FLAGS HAS TO PAY UP !
A young fellow, who was left mind harmed after a beating at Six Flags in 2007, will be getting a $35 million honor after a decision by the Georgia Supreme Court.
In the prominent Cobb County case, the high court maintained the finding that the amusement park was obligated for the young fellow’s wounds, however it has switched that segment of the Georgia Court of Appeals’ choice that tossed out the jury’s honor and requested a full retrial on account of a mistake in the allotment of harms.
“This case stands for the common sense proposition that a property owner does not escape liability for an attack that begins on its premises simply because the victim moves outside the premises before the attack is completed,” says today’s unanimous opinion, written by Justice Britt Grant. “We now expressly adopt this narrow principle, and hold that although the landowner’s duty is to maintain safety and security within its premises and approaches, liability may arise from a breach of that duty that proximately causes injuries even if the resulting injury ultimately is completed beyond that territorial sphere.”
Joshua Martin, 19 at the time, suffered brain damage and spent seven days in a coma after being punched and kicked by four seasonal employees at the park on July 3, 2007.
