Attorneys for Victims of Sexual Assault at Condominiums

Legal Recourse for Victims in Residential Complexes

Condominiums and apartment buildings must ensure a safe living environment for residents. This includes basic security measures like proper lighting, working locks, surveillance, and controlled access. When property managers neglect these duties, it can lead to serious crimes, including sexual assaults, on their property.

At Mitchell & West, LLC, we are dedicated to representing survivors of sexual assault who have suffered due to negligent security or poor management in residential complexes. We help hold property owners and managers accountable for failing to protect their residents and fight to secure justice and compensation for those impacted by these preventable tragedies.

Understanding Premises Liability in Assault Cases

Assaults in condo complexes can occur in a variety of settings, including parking garages, stairwells, hallways, or even inside individual units. While the attacker may be a neighbor, guest, staff member, or intruder, the key question in civil cases is whether the property owner or management company failed to take reasonable steps to prevent the assault.

Examples of negligence in condo sexual assault cases may include:

• Broken or missing security gates, cameras, or door locks
• Inadequate lighting in common areas
• Poor response to resident safety complaints
• Allowing known offenders to remain on the premises

Property owners and management companies have a responsibility to prioritize the safety and security of their residents. When negligence leads to harm, it’s crucial to hold the responsible parties accountable to seek justice and ensure future preventative measures are implemented.

What a Civil Lawsuit Can Do

When safety measures are absent or inadequately maintained, residents face an increased risk of harm. Through a civil lawsuit, victims can hold condo associations, landlords, or property management companies accountable for their negligence in preventing such incidents.

Victims may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, counseling, relocation costs, and more. Beyond financial relief, these lawsuits play a critical role in driving the adoption of safer policies, benefiting future residents and fostering a more secure living environment.
