Have you been a victim of negligent security?
In Nevada, when someone has been the victim of a criminal assault, a negligent security attorney will investigate and determine whether the owner of the premises provided appropriate and adequate security where the assault took place. The general common law principle is that there is no duty to protect against harm caused by the criminal act of a third party. The exception is that a duty is imposed to take reasonable measures where such criminal acts are foreseeable. Negligent security cases generally involve an injury to an individual as a result of a criminal assault or robbery at commercial premises, such as malls, shopping centers, hotels, motels, office buildings, schools, strip clubs or parking garages. A majority of cases arise from strong arm robberies and sexual assaults.
Negligent examples are listed below:
- A strong arm robbery is a robbery by force or threat of force, and does not require a weapon. A “purse snatch” could be considered a strong armed robbery if force or the threat of force is used.
- An armed robbery involves the use of a weapon. A “purse snatch” could be considered if threatened with a weapon
- Larceny occurs when a purse is taken without threat or any contact It is often a matter of semantics whether a purse snatch is a larceny or a robbery.
