Bhandari v. 7-Eleven CA2/5
A 7-Eleven employee who was robbed at gunpoint in the workplace was later shot and killed by the robber (or the robber’s girlfriend) as the employee left the 7-Eleven to testify at the robber’s criminal trial. The employee’s parents alleged 7-Eleven and its franchisee, which was their son’s direct employer, were negligent in failing to provide a security guard at the store. The trial court granted summary judgment for the defendants. We consider whether the summary judgment record requires a trial on the issue of whether the employee’s murder was foreseeable.
