Crowd Control and Inadequate Mall Security

Inadequate security at malls leaves shoppers vulnerable to dangerous crowd activity, serious personal injury and death. When the customers themselves become a danger to others, the property owner has a legal responsibility to step in and improve security measures.

For instance, after the 2008 trampling death of a Wal-Mart employee by crowd of shoppers, the chain swiftly composed a crowd-management plan. Retail property owners, who are required by premises liability law to address known customer safety issues, such as the highly publicized fatal incident, will be held to a higher standard of care by future courts. If you are injured by uncontrolled shopping center crowds, contact a premises liability lawyer.
