Also the main reason the citizen won the suit was, there had been other incidents in the parking lot or at least close. So the court said it "was a known danger" and they didn't nothing to correct the problem and/or protect their customers.
You can see the ruling
here
But a place has no duty to protect you against the "general problems" of society.
So...if patrons of a place had been mugged 3-4 times and the owner did nothing to correct the problem or protect you and something happened you'd have a pretty good case, but in general....No.
