Negligent Security Lawsuits for NYC Victims of Violent Crime Against Landlords
Landlords in New York City are obligated to protect their tenants from reasonably foreseeable crimes within apartment buildings. When they fail to do that, they can be sued for their negligence and the devastating harm that results.
If you or a loved one was seriously injured or killed as a result of a violent crime in an apartment building in New York City and believe the landlord could have prevented it, a New York personal injury lawyer can help you understand your rights to potential compensation.
Attorney Michael J. McConnell is a former prosecutor with the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and understands the trauma that victims of violent crime experience. He remains dedicated to seeking justice for New York City crime victims as a personal injury lawyer, including for those who’ve been forever harmed by negligent landlords who failed to take reasonable measures to protect their tenants and guests from foreseeable violent criminal acts.
