Lawsuits Challenge Inadequate Mall Security

Sometimes inadequate mall security becomes an "accomplice" in violent crimes against shoppers. Premises liability law holds mall owners responsible for customer injuries, in some cases. Property owners or managers who allow a dangerous environment to grow out of lax security policies may pay for their negligence in civil court.

Security includes making criminal incidents known, so that the public can take precautions of their own. Take the case of a successful 2003 lawsuit against a major upscale mall chain. An employee who was raped in the parking lot found that management had failed to disclose similar recent attacks. Her attorney secured a $3 million court award for damages.
