Negligent Security Sexual Assault

Michigan Negligent Security Sexual Assault Attorneys

Sexual assaults that occur at hotels, apartment complexes, parking garages, college campuses, bars, and other locations often happen because property owners failed to provide adequate security. Broken locks, missing surveillance cameras, inadequate lighting, absent security staff, and ignored safety warnings can all create conditions that enable predators.

Koussan Law represents survivors of sexual assault caused by negligent security throughout Michigan. Our firm secured a $14,950,000 jury verdict in an institutional sexual assault case, and we bring that same commitment to every survivor we represent.

Premises Liability for Sexual Assault

Property owners have a duty to protect visitors, tenants, and guests from foreseeable criminal acts — including sexual assault. When an assault occurs and the property owner knew or should have known about the risk, they can be held civilly liable for damages including medical expenses, psychological treatment, lost wages, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.

Evidence in Negligent Security Cases

Prior criminal activity at or near the property, police reports, security audit deficiencies, broken or disabled security equipment, staffing records, and expert testimony on industry-standard security practices are all critical evidence in negligent security sexual assault claims.
