A $3.3 million judgment against Bank of America has been reversed in the case of a bank teller who suspected a customer was a robber and called police, who injured him during an arrest.
The Third District Court of Appeal ruled Wednesday that the teller would have to have acted with malice for the victim, Rodolfo Valladares, to prevail against the bank on a simple negligence cause of action.
