You got to be kidding me: $12M for a crime that a complete stranger committed?? I have property management clients who inform me that the over-regulated business of managing property would prevent a company from screening potential tenants, and once they’re in, they can’t get rid of the bad apples. And everyone knows what the police are up against: look cross-eyed at a suspect and the whole world comes down on the enforcement officer, their hands are the ones that are cuffed!
I have an idea: why not sue the door manufacturer since the door failed to stop the bullet, right? Our legal tort system is a casino and the lawyers are dealing from the bottom of the deck…
This is a travesty. So, this Condo Assoc and its members will have to pay through its Association for covering the increased premium that will undoubtedly increase if they can ever be insurable again without going to surplus or London market…Why is it that a freak incident arising out of a random shooter must have blame against an innocent property manager/owner??
Don Quixote, I have been a member of a state circuit court jury and a US District court jury. There were several of “dumb__es on both. I wont go into the specific makeup, but both had several that fit your description. They wanted to give away all of the $$ that the plaintiff attorneys asked for. In fact, one jury wanted to award more than the demand (ad danum)in the initial suit!!!! Fortunately, the judge explained the rules!

Utter BS. Premiums will have to skyrocket and coverage exclusions will be implemented — all thanks to one dumbass jury.
