Recovering Damages for Inadequate Security Claims

If you’ve suffered injuries from a physical attack or sexual assault, there is clearly someone to blame. The person who attacked you and caused your physical and psychological injuries may be tried in criminal and civil courts. But the person who actually attacked you may not be the only one legally responsible for your injuries. A New York or New Jersey premises liability lawyer can help you determine whether the property owner or manager is also responsible for your injuries.

Property owners and managers have a responsibility to keep people on their property safe from foreseeable crimes. If a crime has already occurred on the property, or if a crime is reasonably foreseeable, then a property owner or manager should take reasonable steps to ensure the safety of those lawfully on their property.

New York and New Jersey Inadequate Security Claims

While most states recognize inadequate-security claims, the types of properties that are most often involved in inadequate-security claims are the tourist and residential properties often found in New Jersey and New York. Hotel security, for example, is a big concern for tourists visiting the metro New York area, and apartment building security is a big concern for residents of both states.

People who own or manage apartment buildings, hotels, malls, and other properties frequented by many people should take steps to protect those people from criminal attacks. The exact measures that may be required depend on the specific property, but may include security cameras, security guards, adequate locks, and adequate lighting.

Pursuing a New Jersey or New York Inadequate Security Claim

In order to recover damages in a New York or New Jersey inadequate-security case, a thorough investigation must be conducted of the property and the history of criminal attacks on that property and similar properties. The New Jersey and New York premises liability attorneys of Hofmann & Schweitzer will conduct an investigation and help you recover damages if you’ve been hurt due to poor security.

The person who attacked you may not have the financial resources to pay for your injuries, but the property owners or managers may be able to compensate you. Call Hofmann & Schweitzer at 1-800-362-9329 to discuss your potential recovery if you’ve been hurt in a criminal attack on someone else’s property.
