We have all heard terrible stories about assaults, muggings and other violent crimes that happen in apartment buildings, night clubs, parking garages and shopping malls. Many times, these incidents occur because of inadequate or negligent security.

The law requires property owners to take steps necessary to ensure a safe environment for those persons who live, visit or work on their property. Whether it is hiring security guards, placing security cameras or just installing working locks, a land owner has an obligation to protect against known dangers.

Many victims of these violent crimes endure suffering that far outlasts their physical injuries. Many victims suffer from significant depression and post traumatic stress disorders that leave them unable to attend to their daily routines and activities for extended periods of time.

If you or a loved one has been the victim of a violent crime due to negligent or inadequate security, it is very important to hire an experienced lawyer as soon as possible, to begin an immediate investigation of any security lapses. We have experience with these cases, and will take the steps necessary to protect your rights.
