Case #2: Hill v. Yaskin: Special Circumstances Fortifying Foreseeability
Hill v. Yaskin was another New Jersey case where the defendant Yaskin parked her car in a parking lot in a high-crime area, leaving her key for the parking attendant to move the car if necessary. The car was stolen, and William Hill, a police officer, was injured during the chase. At the trial level, the court refused to follow Zinck, and held that Yaskin could not have reasonably foreseen the theft and subsequent injury to Hill.
