Steven Harner v. Mercy Hospital Joplin

Summary

The Court held Mercy Hospital did not owe Harner a duty under the known third person exception because the information Mercy received about Liska's conduct did not make it reasonably foreseeable that she would become violent or dangerous. Because Harner failed to make a submissible negligence case on duty, the Court reversed the judgment entered on the jury's verdict and remanded. No separate opinion is included in the case record.
