Examples of Sexual Assault and Rape Cases
Take the all too common and unfortunate case of an individual leaving work at a later time, usually at night. Normally, she will have to make her way down a stairwell or through a parking garage or lot. As she makes her way to her car, she is raped or sexually assaulted. In many cases, after one look at the premises it becomes clear that this horrific accident could have been prevented if the owner of the premises would have provided security personnel, closed circuit television cameras (“CCTV”) and/or adequate lighting in order to deter potential assailants from committing the crime.
Insufficient lighting is not the only dangerous condition created by a property owner that could lead to the commission of a crime. The Miami and Ft. Lauderdale sexual assault victim lawyers of Brais Law Firm have handled cases in which an owner’s negligent security of a premises was attributable to numerous other unsafe conditions. Over many years the firm has also successfully represented numerous cruise passengers sexually assaulted and/or raped aboard cruise ships.
