Landowners, commercial enterprises, and landlords have a duty not only to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition but also to provide adequate security to protect against foreseeable acts of criminal conduct or similar harm. The failure to protect persons from criminal acts of others may result in liability for the landowner and other persons or entities responsible for providing a safe environment. Such failure may result in serious personal injuries.

Attorney Stephen C. Buser obtained a successful recovery for a woman who was assaulted in a bowling alley parking lot. He proved there was inadequate security by showing inadequate staffing, malfunctioning security cameras, failure to monitor the patron causing the injury, and lack of warnings of potential dangers. After a three-day trial, a jury found in favor of Attorney Buser’s client and awarded her substantial damages for her injuries and losses.

The firm has also successfully represented a woman who was sexually assaulted in her first-floor apartment bedroom. Lawyer Buser proved that the assault could have been prevented if the landlord had provided a proper locking mechanism on her bedroom window, which he failed to do after being notified the lock was broken.

Businesses and commercial enterprises, including, but not limited to, shopping malls, have a duty to protect patrons from foreseeable criminal activity and the failure to do so may be a result of inadequate staffing, lack of security devices, failure to warn, inadequate training of employees, and other causes. If you or a loved one have been injured on public or private property as a result of criminal conduct or similar harmful behavior by others, it is important to an experienced lawyer who can determine if you have a valid claim.
