Many people are shocked to hear of sexual assaults in dressing rooms at a clothing store. However, sex abuse can happen just about anywhere if there is inadequate security, lack of supervision, and other dangerous conditions.
A store employee should be monitoring the fitting rooms at all times, and this duty requires more than handing you a ticket and telling you which dressing room to go to. But it’s quite common to go to over to the fitting room area and find that no one is there. This is a lapse in security that allows a sexual predator to sneak in and sexually assault someone.
But human intervention isn’t the only way to prevent crimes like sexual and physical assault. Surveillance cameras are another way to protect customers, even though they can’t be placed right in the rooms. But cameras that face the dressing room area are meant to capture footage of suspicious activity and whoever is going in and out of the fitting rooms. The presence of cameras makes criminal think twice about what attacking someone, and while it doesn’t work all the time, they can still minimize the possibility of a sexual abuse incident. Of course, cameras only do their job when they are of good quality, are working properly, and capturing the right angles.
Other security failures at stores like Sample 260 can result in a tragic incident that forever alters the course of someone’s life. But justice is possible to achieve, and you can count on us to be there for you every step of the way.
Suing a Store for Incidents of Sexual AssaultIn order to sue a store for sexual assault on the premises, you would have to prove that the store failed to meet the standard of care that’s owed to you as a guest or visitor. This is based on the law of premises liability, which refers to the duty that residential and commercial property owners have to maintain a reasonable standard of safety in order to prevent harm to others. Showing that the store failed in its duty of care requires proof of the following:
- You had a valid reason to be on the property (browsing or shopping at the store, for example).
- While you were at the store, you were sexually assaulted due to lack of security (or another form of negligence)
- Because the store breached their duty of care, you suffered bodily harm and/or psychological injuries.
- Your injuries merit compensation, which gives you the right to file a lawsuit against Sample 260.
These are the basic requirements that must be met, but other factors may apply depending on the circumstances in your case. While these elements may seem obvious to you, proving a case with evidence that meets California’s legal standards is very challenging, to say the least. A Sample 260 fitting room sexual assault attorney is critical to building a strong case and obtaining the settlement you deserve.
