Shopping Centers and Premises Liability (Part B)

Some malls have comprehensive security plans in place, often run by professional subcontractors. Others have lower budgets but still manage to incorporate monitored cameras, security lighting and physical patrols into a mall safety strategy. Even those that don't have much funding can use inexpensive mirrors to protect obscure corners of parking garages or volunteers for patrols to deter crime. Any of these efforts may be recognized by the court as reasonable precautions in considering a lawsuit.

What Premises Liability Law Means to You

When you are hurt by a robber or in a violent assault, your injuries can cause physical and/or mental trauma. Repairing this damage costs you money in doctor fees, therapy bills and time off from work to attend to your medical needs. A premises liability lawsuit can help you to recover what you spend, with possible awards for the pain and emotional suffering caused by the incident.

Premises liability theory holds that negligent security creates an atmosphere which aids criminals who prey on shoppers. When criminal activity causes damage through personal injury or wrongful death, and security is alleged to be inadequate, the court addresses this quantifiable claim through a civil lawsuit. Even if the attacker is convicted in criminal court and goes to jail, your damages still deserve recompense.

Using reports from eyewitnesses and an assessment of the crime scene by a professional, your attorney will attempt to prove your claim against the mall owner, property manager, security subcontractor and individual tenants, if applicable. A successful premises liability lawsuit can reap a large settlement to help repay you for your loss.

When you are interviewing personal injury attorneys ask critical questions, like: how long have you been practicing; what is the largest settlement or verdict you've obtained, and do you have experience with inadequate mall security cases.
