Re: employee parking
While we don't practice in MS, as a general proposition, your employer is required to provide you with a safe work environment. However, whether the parking lot that you use is actually within the employer's obligation is unknown from the facts you've provided, and ultimately, if you don't feel safe there, then you should locate (if possible) alternate parking arrangements. Please be sure to consult with an attorney to learn more about what your specific rights may be.
