Inadequate Security

Philadelphia Inadequate Security Lawyers

Was someone you know the victim of an assault due to inadequate or negligent security?

At the Pennsylvania personal injury law firm of Metzger & Kleiner, we represent victims and families of victims injured in assaults resulting from inadequate security. If you feel your injuries, or those of someone you care about, were the result of negligence on the part of the property owners or managers, contact our Lehigh Valley or Philadelphia office to arrange for a free consultation with an experienced attorney.

Premises liability law requires that individuals and businesses/organizations, such as condominium associations and employers, take reasonable measures to ensure the safety of workers and visitors. This can involve a broad range of situations:

• Our attorneys represented a McDonald's restaurant customer who was shot late at night, while the employees were protected by bulletproof glass.
• Daycare negligence and failure to supervise children in schools puts children at risk for accidents and kidnapping. We represented the family of a boy with disabilities. He was unsupervised, left school and drowned.
• If a parking lot has inadequate lighting and an assailant takes advantage of the poor lighting to commit a rape or murder, the property management or owner may be responsible.
• Our client, making a delivery while working, was shot. Our lawyers recovered money for him from the company where he was injured. He also was entitled to damages under Workers' Compensation.
• If event organizers and premises management don't provide adequate security we will file claims and lawsuits for clients injured in fights at clubs, sporting events and concerts; or in sexual assaults or beatings in hotels, workplaces or parking ramps.
• Nursing homes, hospitals, prisons and schools unfortunately may be sites of institutional assault or institutional abuse due to poorly screened employees or faulty security mechanisms allowing intruders to breach security.

Negligent or inadequate security, such as poor lighting, negligent security officers or other insufficient security measures can provide a breeding ground for crime, such as theft, rape, assault and other attacks which could have been prevented if proper security had been implemented.
