Injured as a Result of Negligent Security in Massachusetts? Choose a Boston Law Firm with the Experience you Need to Win.
Each year, thousands of individuals suffer serious injuries or death as a result of violent crime. While the nature of the violence giving rise to these injuries is wide ranging, many such events result from inadequate or “negligent security” measures which would otherwise have prevented or reduced such injuries.
Examples of cases predicated on negligent security includes rape or violent crime occurring at hotels and motels, resulting from management’s failure to prevent unauthorized access to guest rooms by intruders. Bars and restaurants with past histories of violence have also been held liable for failing to screen customers for weapons, including guns and knives – particularly where the history of the establishment included past incidents involving such weapons. Finally, bar and restaurant operators have been held liable for negligent security for injuries caused by intoxicated patrons.
