Youth Villages is a private not for profit organization that provides many counseling services to youths, including the operation of several group homes. The organization has a contract with the state of TN Dept of Childrens Services to provide these services to children in the state’s care. It was one of these children that escaped from a group home operated by Youth Villages, and started the fire.
So, if he escaped, it is a prison?. How about say he “ran away”. I don’t see how the group home can be held liable since the kid was living in a group home and not a prisoner of the group home. How come this guy didn’t have insurance? If the total damages with loss of rents is 1.2 mil, why is he asking for 2mil? Sounds like he was irresponsible for not having insurance and now wants someone else to pay for his mistake and make money on the deal as well.
Subrogation rights vary based on each state’s legal interpretation of “who can sue”. In Tennessee, the “Subrogation Receipt” allows the carrier to sue the responsible party in the policyholder’s name. Not being a lawyer, I can’t explain the differences better.
or a housing facility?

The owner did have insurance, this is a subrogation suit.
Uh, I beg to differ. First Management Company is not an insurance carrier. Only the carrier would file a subrogation lawsuit.
