Hurd v. Williamsburg County
Supreme Court of South Carolina
1Dissent
*430Chief Justice TOAL.
I respectfully dissent. In my opinion, the Transit Authority exercised reasonable care in dropping off its passenger. Therefore, I would reverse the court of appeals’ decision holding that the Transit Authority breached its duty of care to Hurd.
I disagree with the majority because, in my opinion, the majority holds the Transit Authority to a higher duty of care than what is required of common carriers.
