Business/Property Owner Liability to Crime Victims
If you are the victim of a crime that occurred on a company's property, you may be entitled to compensation from the business or property owner of the premises where the attack occurred. Businesses and property owners should provide for the safety and security of their customers and employees. There should be proper safety precautions in place and the ability to properly prevent or respond to "forseeably" dangerous situations.
A company’s property includes:
Office Buildings
Retail Stores
Banks
Warehouses
Hotels
Private Hospitals
Camps
Pools
Apartment Buildings
Malls
Parking lots and garages
Conditions that could forseeably lead to harm include broken locks that are known about but not repaired, parts of property where crimes have occurred in the past, employees on the property who have criminal backgrounds, and entry to the property by trespassers in the past. If any of these conditions lead to your harm, you may have a case.
If you are the victim of rape, assault, theft, or a loved-one is murdered on the property of a business due to a forseeable condition, you should contact The Siskind Law Firm today to determine if the property or business owner is liable to you.
