VASQUEZ v. RESIDENTIAL INVS., INC., D042575
The degree of foreseeability of a criminal intruder by the owners of the apartment building was sufficiently high - compared with the burden of the duty proposed by plaintiffs to replace the missing windowpane on their front door - to support imposition of that duty on the owners. Summary judgment for defendants in this wrongful death action is reversed.
