Adult Sexual Assault
Sexual assault can come from an employee of a facility such as an apartment complex or hospital, or while receiving treatment or counseling from professional mental health or spiritual practitioners. And in some cases, when sexual assault crime occurs at an apartment complex, the landlord and/or the property management company may be held liable for due to the following negligence:
- Broken doors locks
- Broken door buzzer systems
- Improper lighting
- Faulty door entry systems
- Negligent procedures with respect to entry of non-tenants
- Inadequate security
- Failure to warn of known criminal activity
- Negligently hiring or retaining a known criminal.
This kind of liability is not limited to landlords and can be applied to stores, shopping malls, hotels, restaurants, and more.
If you have been the victim of a sexual assault in an apartment complex, hotel or motel, it is best to speak to a knowledgeable personal injury lawyer.

Construction
The United States has over 2.5 million construction companies and their workers withstand the hardest and most threatening job conditions in the nation. In fact, OSHA publishes an 82-page pamphlet of regulations that address just the top 10 hazards on construction sites. This much regulation speaks to the great risk of working in and around construction activity.
Hazards from chemicals, heavy machinery, hydraulic equipment, cranes, scaffolds, electrical systems, defective construction equipment such as forklifts, industrial vehicles, backhoes, giant paving machines, structures under construction, partially completed roof structures, fellow subcontractors, and general contractors, and superintendents often combine to severely injure all types of construction workers. These employees are nearly always in danger of suffering a catastrophic injury.
Generally there are three categories of construction accident victims:
- 1. A person who is unrelated to the construction activity that was injured close to or passing by construction activity.
- 2. An employee injured by the construction activity and not covered by any worker's compensation insurance. Forty to fifty percent of Texas employers offer no insurance. Retaining an attorney experienced with the construction industry and aggressive enough to pierce the contractual veil is vital to successfully win compensation for construction related injuries.
- 3. An injured employee that is covered by worker's compensation but was injured by the gross negligence of the employer, the negligence of another contractor, or by a defective tool or piece of machinery. An experienced and determined construction accident attorney can get through the worker's compensation insurance and hold the negligent parties financially responsible. The Law Office of Todd Rash knows how to represent the injured construction worker to seek justice and proper compensation.

Establishment Operations
Service businesses such as a day care operations, an apartment complex, a hotel, a hospital, or a bar must conduct their businesses in a prudent manner to protect their customers.
- 1. In the case of a bar or club, the duty is protect the public by limiting the intoxication levels of patrons.
- 2. Child Care Facilities and Organizations:
- Children are vulnerable and unfortunately sexual predators are drawn to the businesses and organizations that focus on children. Improper sexual conduct can occur at any child care center, place of worship, school, hospital, or charity event. A sexual predator is driven to attach themselves to these groups, and history has shown predators come from all walks of life and are experts at forging sexual opportunities with children.
- The facility or organization management will have to answer for their negligence in allowing the sexual predator the opportunity for sexual assault of a child. Their liability could arise from an inadequate background check, or the inadequate training of staff to recognize the signs of sexual conditioning, or assault, or negligent security or supervision that allows the time and opportunity for assault.
- The emotional and psychological trauma to a child victim of sexual assault is deeply serious and the scarring can last a lifetime. Additionally, parents are traumatized and special counseling for an extended period is required for the child and the parents.
The Law Office of Todd Rash understands how to represent the child and the family in these cases. If your family encounters sexual abuse of a child, please contact The Law Office of Todd Rash. Consideration will be sensitive and confidential.
