Unsafe Premises

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. In some cases, when sexual assault crime occurs at an apartment complex, the landlord and/or property management company may be held liable due to negligence.

The United States has over 2.5 million construction companies and their workers withstand the hardest and most threatening job conditions in the nation. Hazards from chemicals, heavy machinery, hydraulic equipment, cranes, scaffolds, electrical systems, defective construction equipment, and fellow subcontractors often combine to severely injure all types of construction workers.

Generally there are three categories of construction accident victims: (1) A person unrelated to the construction activity who was injured nearby; (2) An employee injured by construction activity not covered by worker's compensation insurance (40 to 50 percent of Texas employers offer no insurance); (3) An injured employee covered by worker's compensation but injured by gross negligence of the employer, negligence of another contractor, or a defective tool or piece of machinery.

Service businesses such as day care operations, apartment complexes, hotels, hospitals, or bars must conduct their businesses in a prudent manner to protect their customers. In the case of a bar or club, the duty is to protect the public by limiting the intoxication levels of patrons.

Children are vulnerable and unfortunately sexual predators are drawn to businesses and organizations that focus on children. The facility or organization management will have to answer for their negligence in allowing a sexual predator the opportunity for assault. Their liability could arise from an inadequate background check, inadequate training of staff, or negligent security or supervision.
