More details to this question:
Thanks giving morning my parents were both attacked inside Walmart. A man snuck up behind them with a bat he got on the sporting good n hit my mother in the back of the head then my father turned around and he hit my father in the front of the head. They both have been in and out of hospitals the past week. I just need to know if there is a case here or any helpful information to point us in the right direction I would appreciate.

Obviously your parents have a case against the attacker, but I assume that you are asking about a claim against Walmart, which is much more tenuous. However, if your parents could show that their injuries resulted from negligence on the part of Walmart, for example if Walmart was negligent in not providing enough security and that allowed the attack to occur, or if walmart was negligent in not securing the aluminum bats, or in not calling for an ambulance soon enough and that exacerbated your parents' injuries, etc., they could have a claim.
