Supreme Court of New Jersey
William E. Hill and Kaytrine Hill, His Wife, Plaintiffs-Appellants v. Judith Yaskin and Camden Parking Services…
December 1, 197775 N.J. 139
Summary
The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the summary‑judgment rulings and remanded for trial, holding that both Camden Parking Services and vehicle owner Judith Yaskin owed a duty of care to the injured police officer because the foreseeability of theft and subsequent misuse of the car created an enhanced hazard. The Court affirmed that the duty issue is for a jury, and noted policy considerations for reducing such risks.
