Who is responsible when someone is assaulted on a business’s property?

We look at who was responsible for security and whether they should have expected a risk of an attack. Depending on the facts, an owner, tenant, property management company, or security contractor may share responsibility. We review past crimes, lighting, locks, cameras, staffing, and the cost and practicality of added security. The attacker may be responsible, and a business may also be responsible if it failed to take reasonable steps to protect visitors.
