Can I sue as a victim of an assault during an armed robbery in a shopping center parking lot?

Yes, you can. You may very well have a claim against the property owner if it’s clear that there has been ongoing criminal activity and the owner didn’t take the proper steps to protect the patrons. This would be referred to as a negligent security claim.
