Rhode Island Inadequate Security Lawyer

The owner of a home or business has a legal obligation to make sure that persons lawfully on the property are safe. That includes a legal duty to protect patrons, renters, and guests from harm caused by the foreseeable criminal acts of third parties. When property owners breach this duty of care, innocent people can become victims of preventable violent crimes, including assaults, rapes, and robberies.

At Gemma Law Associates we believe in holding negligent property owners liable for inadequate security that results in personal injury, severe psychological trauma, or death. If you’ve been harmed by a foreseeable criminal act because of inadequate security, you may be entitled to recover financial compensation for your lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering, disability, and loss of support.

While inadequate security can happen anywhere, the most common cases arise at hotels, apartment buildings, restaurants, clubs, retail stores, office buildings, parking lots, parking garages, and shopping centers. Those high-traffic areas often attract criminal activity. Inadequate security claims frequently involve proof that a property owner knew, or should have known, of a pattern of crime in the area but failed to take adequate measures to light, patrol, and secure the property.

Adequate security failures include:

• Inadequate lighting
• Faulty door locks
• Faulty or nonexistent window alarms
• Failure to maintain high visibility security measures
• Improperly secured entrances (unlocked doors)
• Failure to provide security guards
• Absence of security cameras
• Open gates or loading bay doors
• Failure to properly screen employees or visitors.

After spending 8 hours in a hospital overnight to get stitches in my lip because of a drunk driver’s negligent decision to get behind the wheel, the last thing I wanted to do was think about it all. I sent an email to Gemma Law, and Mark Gemma quickly called me back with an empathetic approach to listening to my story and helping me figure out the next steps. When he told me I wouldn’t have to have any contact with the insurance companies, I was HOOKED! When he pointed out how unfortunate it was I might have to miss out on a lip modeling career from a potential scar from the stitches, I was SOLD! And when I finally received my settlement check after letting him do all the leg work while I just focused on recovering, I was and am eternally GRATEFUL!  Mark Gemma helped me turn a near death experience into a new start in life and I highly recommend him to anybody needing a personal injury lawyer.
