Assaults Enabled by Negligent Security
We are ready to pursue compensation for sexual assault, physical assault or muggings in hotels and bars, parking lots and alleys, or apartment buildings allowed to happen because of:
- Lack of secure access door failures (apartment entryways, hotel room doors)
- Broken locks, unsecured windows or broken fences
- Broken lights or insufficient lighting
- Lack of monitoring, patrols or deterrents such as security cameras
There may have been a specific security breach. Other tenants or patrons may already have complained of a break-in attempt. It may be that the landlord or business should have taken stronger measures because of known criminal activity in the area, especially a previous rape or robbery on the premises.
We can recover negligent security compensation for medical treatment and any lasting physical harm (such as scarring), as well as damages for emotional distress and psychological counseling after a traumatic attack.
Assaults by Security Staff
If you were roughed up by a bouncer or security guard, the owner could be liable. Private security personnel can use reasonable force, but we have recovered damages for injuries from unjustified or excessive force, such as punching or kicking, throwing a person to the ground, or breaking the person's arm or nose.
