In many assault and battery cases, the attacker is not the only responsible party.
If an assault happened because a business or property owner failed to provide reasonable safety measures, they may also be liable.
Examples include:
• Broken gates or locks
• Poor lighting
• Lack of security guards
• No crowd control at a venue
• Failure to respond to prior threats or incidents
• Unsafe apartment complexes
• No surveillance in high-risk areas
• Poor training of staff or security personnel
These are often called negligent security claims. They can be a major part of recovering meaningful compensation, especially when the attacker cannot be identified or does not have the ability to pay.
