In Charlotte, NC, a woman filed suit against a hotel, claiming that one of its bartenders served her a drink that made her dizzy, forced his way into her hotel room, and then raped her. The suit alleges that the hotel did not take adequate precautions to protect her from being raped because it either knew or should have known the bartender had acted like that in the past. The suit also alleges the hotel did not have sufficient security to protect guests, such as a video surveillance system in the hallways. The prevailing law in Tennessee for situations like these is that business owners can be liable for crimes that occur on their property and must protect customers from crimes it either knows or should have known are reasonably foreseeable against its patrons on its premises. For example, a business located in a high-crime area might be required to take extra steps to secure its premises from criminals.
