THIRD PARTY ASSAULT & DANGEROUS PREMISES CASES
THIRD PARTY ASSAULT & DANGEROUS PREMISES CASES
Victims of violent crime are frequently harmed at hotels, malls, apartment complexes, or schools.
The use of reasonable security measures could prevent or deter many of these crimes.
The owner or management company of a commercial business property should know:
- if a substantial number of prior violent crimes have occurred on its premises
- if an individual acts in such a way as to indicate danger in time to prevent harm or injury
- if an employee has a history of violence or criminal record
Under the law, companies and management are responsible for providing reasonable security measures to protect their guests, customers, employees, residents, or students from an attack by a stranger. The attack can result in assault, shooting, stabbing, sexual assault, molestation, or rape.
Our experienced attorneys have successfully handled these types of cases throughout Missouri and across the United States.
