Property owners and managers are required to provide adequate security to people who use their facilities. If you or a loved one have suffered from an assault in a building or private lot, you may be able to recover medical expenses and receive compensation for pain and suffering from the negligent property owner/manager.
Unsafe conditions can result from inadequate security with regards to lighting, surveillance cameras, fencing, exits, or known criminal activity on the premises. An experienced Gerling Attorney can determine if any of these negligent security issues contributed to your injuries.
Properties where inadequate security can be a problem:
- Hotels, motels, inns
- Shopping centers and malls
- College dorms
- Parking lots and parking garages
- Apartment complexes
- University campuses
Victims of attacks taking place in inadequately secured properties may be eligible to receive compensation from lost wages, past and future medical expenses, disability or lost earning capacity, mental distress, pain and suffering, and potentially loss of consortium (loss of services and companionship to one's spouse).
If you or a loved one have been the victim of an attack, please call Gerling Law in Evansville, Indianapolis and Louisville today. Our attorneys will work hard to help you get the compensation you deserve.
