Inadequate Mall Security Creates Parking Lot Danger Zones (Part B)
Mall Parking Lots – Ripe with Opportunities for Criminals
Carjack abductions can often happen at shopping malls. In these cases, the victims and their families can bring Massachusetts wrongful death lawsuits and premises liability claims, often to multiple parties.
Since the parking lot crime scene served several purposes for the offender by providing opportunities to steal vehicles and money (thanks to the proximity to automated cash machines), shopping malls can be held accountable for the failure to provide a safe environment for their customers.
If you’ve been robbed or assaulted in a mall parking lot, these needs may have driven your attacker.
Stores and property owners are required to be aware of the type of hazards that customers might face and to try to prevent them. So there is really no legal excuse for the lack of standard protections.
To protect themselves from premises liability lawsuits, property owners can make efforts to increase crime deterrents at the mall. One of the ways to do this is to add cameras to cover a larger area and providing free valet parking service to families to keep the parking lots safe.
Considering a Premises Liability Lawsuit
Consulting a lawyer about a premises liability lawsuit will satisfy the gnawing concerns that plague victims of violent crime.
By filing a civil lawsuit, you can recover money for your financial, physical and emotional damages.
You can also send a message to mall owners that now is the time to improve their security.
When you are interviewing Boston premises liability attorneys, ask critical questions, like:
- How long have you been practicing in Massachusetts?
- Do you have experience with mall security cases?
- What is the largest settlement you’ve obtained in premises liability cases?
