“Inadequate Security” – Are Property Owners Liable for Crimes on Their Property?

Your Source for Injury Information and Assistance in Pennsylvania

If a box falls from above and injures your head in a store, you know you likely have a legal case for injuries. Likewise, if a dock gives way, a stair railing breaks or an uneven surface leads to a fall, you likely know you can pursue a claim for damages in many instances. But did you know that property owners can often be held liable if they fail to prevent injuries caused by a violent crime on their property?

If you have questions regarding inadequate security in the Allentown or Philadelphia areas, contact the personal injury attorneys of Metzger & Kleiner. We have over 40 years of experience handling premises liability cases in Pennsylvania.
