When Your Injury Occurred Due to Negligent or Absent Security

December 19, 2019

If you have ever felt a vague or even a strong sense of fear for your safety in certain locations, you are not alone. Places in which such a feeling may arise include dark parking lots, empty stairwells, garages or other places that are dim and largely empty. These are prime locations in which a physical attack can occur.

News stories presented by respected media outlets can increase the fear people feel about the possibility of an assault, but such reports are rarely exaggerated. Attacks leading to various types of personal injury happen every day in America whether we wish to believe it or not. Short of becoming a shut-in inside your home or investing large amounts of time and money on self-defense courses, there is little you can do to prevent an assault in some situations.

Our attorneys do urge people to learn how to defend themselves in case an unexpected attack occurs.

Self-defense combined with your right to take legal action in the wake of an assault can be a powerful weapon to combat random attacks.

Consider this: Say that you are walking to your car at night in a Doylestown parking lot. Someone appears out of nowhere, strikes you, knocks you down and steals your purse or wallet. It is bad enough that you have lost your belongings, but now you are a nursing a serious personal injury as well.

We understand that your prime target in seeking a legal remedy is to focus on the attacker. By also choosing to target the property owner for his or her failure to provide adequate security, you may be in a position to maximize your compensation. You may still seek a case against your attacker as well but forcing the property owner to improve security can help others avoid a fate similar to yours.
