Gordon McCammon v. William Gifford

Case Number
M2001-01357-COA-R3-CV
This appeal involves a guest of two residents of a campground who was badly burned when a can of paint thinner ignited in his hosts' camper. The guest filed a negligence action in the Circuit Court for Davidson County against his hosts and the owner of the campground. The trial court dismissed the claims against the owner of the campground on summary judgment after concluding that the owner's duty to render aid ended once the guest's brother undertook to provide this assistance. We affirm the summary judgment because the record contains no evidence that the guest's brother was incompetent to come to his aid.
