An attack on your safety can come out of nowhere. In that moment, your sense of trust and well-being can vanish, leaving you with emotional as well as physical injuries.

Proving negligence in such cases often requires experience. It requires demonstrating that the property owner had reason to anticipate that such a crime might occur based on the level of crime in the area or a recent history of similar incidents on or near the property. While there is no law outlining the exact precautions a property owner must take to prevent a violent crime, some examples of reasonable security measures may include:
Apartment owners may be liable if they fail to properly vet other tenants. Owners of hotels and motels may have neglected to provide adequate safety training for members of their staff.
Our Charlotte attorneys also understand the pain of losing a loved one to an accident or violent crime, and we have the experience and determination to pursue a wrongful death claim if inadequate security or maintenance contributed to your loved one’s death.
