An RVer is suing Walmart, claiming they were negligent about keeping the parking lot safe for their invited RV guests. This is after they shot and killed a man who allegedly entered their coach while the couple was in Cedar City, UT Walmart parking area. Supposedly the man knocked on the door of their coach and asked about a ride south, then got into a struggle over the RVers shotgun and ended up dead. Read the full news report on the link below.
They claim they suffer ongoing medical problems and emotional distress from the incident and are asking for general damages and coverage of medical and court costs.

I hate to see this kind of lawsuit. Pure opportunism, in my view. Sue the big guy because he has deep pockets. This is the sort of thing that makes businesses refuse to extend courtesies to the public, e.g. Walmart's RV parking policy. You can bet the Walmart lawyers are arguing right now that this policy leaves Walmart vulnerable to this sort of thing and ought to be terminated.
