If You Have Been a Victim of a Violent Crime

Despite having an effective criminal justice system when it comes to punishing wrongdoers, our system remains ineffective in addressing the physical, emotional and financial toll of those victimized by the criminal acts of others.

Even today, most people think that the person who committed the violent crime is the only one who should be held responsible for the victim's injuries and damages. However, there are many circumstances where the property owner or property manager knew or should have known of prior or persistent violent crimes on their property, yet chose not to take reasonable security measures to protect their customers, residents or guests. When property owners or business owners disregard such known dangers, all while still inviting customers to enter their premises and purchase their goods and services, our laws hold them accountable for their actions and the harms and losses suffered.

These types of lawsuits in particular can be very complex and often require significant experience to effectively pursue.

• The law firm of Holder Susan Slusher, LLC represents victims of assault, shootings, robberies, and other violent crimes that occurred at:
• Bars
• Nightclubs
• Hotels and Motels
• Casinos
• Convenience stores and gas stations
• Office buildings
• Parking garages
• Sports arenas and stadiums

Basic security measures can prevent crimes from happening.

• Perhaps the property owner overlooked a security risk, such as the following:
• Inadequate security
• Improper lighting
• Faulty security systems
• Failing to rectify prior and frequent violent crimes on the premises

Crimes are preventable. Property owners should be held accountable when they do not take appropriate steps to protect and/or warn guests and patrons from becoming victims of crime.
