Security Co. s Exit From Fla. Hospital Shooting Case Affirmed
Law360 (January 7, 2021, 10:52 PM EST) A Florida appeals court on Wednesday affirmed a judgment allowing Nor-Seg Security Services Inc. to exit a lawsuit over the shooting of two visitors in the lobby of a long-term care hospital, ruling that the security company s contract was limited to protecting the hospital and its employees, not visitors or others.
In an eight-page opinion, the Third District rejected multiple arguments from plaintiffs Margery and Fred Glickman for why it should find the scope of Nor-Seg s duties to be broader than what was stated in the contract terms and overturn a summary judgment entered in favor of the company.
