Attorney contributor Jeff Gibson is an experienced violent crime attorney who represents victims of stabbings in civil lawsuits. Jeff has shared his insight about the legal rights of these victims and their families.
Every commercial property owners legally must maintain the safety of their patrons and employees while on their premises. In order to successfully do this property owners must provide adequate security. This may include installing video surveillance or hiring security personnel. If a property owner fails to provide adequate security and someone is injured or killed from a violent crime, then the owner may be held liable for the victim’s injuries.
Additionally, a victim’s lawyer must also be able to prove that the crime was reasonably foreseeable. For instance, if crime rates were increasing in the area and the property owner did not enhance security measures, then any violent crime to occur on the property may be deemed reasonably foreseeable.
