Raped On A Commercial Property

Posted on August 16, 2013 by David P. Thiruselvam in Assault - No Comments

If you were a victim of rape or sexual assault on a commercial property, then you’ll want to know your legal rights. To find out more about these rights, you’ll want to find yourself the best crime victim lawyer that specializes in rape victim civil law, because the commercial property owner(s) can very well be held liable for lack of security in preventing your sexual attack.

It’s bad enough to have to go through the physical, mental and emotional devastation of a sexual assault, but to then learn that it could have possibly been prevented with security measures is even more devastating and adds insult to injury.

How are commercial property owners liable?

You might be wondering how the commercial property owner can be held liable in rape victim civil law, because the property owner was not the predator. The property owner is clearly not the assailant, but it is definitely their job as the property owner to put up safety measures to prevent such attacks from occurring in the first place.

Suppose there had been a security camera in place, maybe the perpetrator would have been deterred from assaulting you, or maybe it would have allowed the assailant to be caught in the act, or at the very least, caught immediately thereafter, providing you with some type of justice.

Even if you were assaulted right in your own home, if you live in an apartment building, the owner of the building could have prevented an attacker from entering the premises with security measures.

Lack of security on commercial property is considered to be an act of negligence on the part of the commercial property owner. If you are a rape victim, then you very well could be compensated for suffering through a sexual assault on commercial property.

Where do you go from here?

You’ll want to contact a crime victim lawyer that specializes in rape victim civil law and find out your legal rights immediately. Don’t be afraid to speak to someone about your rights. By not speaking to an attorney about your civil rights, you’re just adding another injustice to yourself.

Don’t be a victim, let a crime victim lawyer help you today and give you some much deserved justice. Sit down and talk with an attorney privately and confidentially about the events that took place to you and find out how they can help you get the compensation and justice that you deserve.
