– Hotel Sexual Assault <\/a><\/blockquote>\nHotel Liability<\/h2>\nBased on preliminary reports it appears that the security failed to notice the suspicious activity of the shooter. From what was indicated in the initial reports it appears that the hotel should have had notice of the gunmen\u2019s motives. From what was reported it appears that the gunman had been in the hotel for a period of three days. In these three days reports show that the gunman had actually installed cameras and other surveillance equipment into his room. The question is whether the hotel security or staff should have been alarmed by this type of conduct. Did the staff act appropriately with reference to the conduct of the shooter and would this not have happened had the acted diligently.\n

If the hotel should have noticed or if a reasonably prudent person in that same situation would have noticed an omission or issue with the conduct, you can assert liability.\nAnother factor which is being considered is whether the windows at the hotel were sufficiently strong enough to handle the attack. As has been evidenced by the news reports the gunman was able to break the windows in his suite. This allowed him to target people on the ground level from a tactically advantageous position. It is clear that any hotel which constructs such a high building would consider the likelihood of window strength. This is to protect not only against such attacks but also to protect against people who occupy the room from throwing furniture or other items of the room causing injury to passing pedestrians or vehicles. It is likely to consider that this type of issue should be considered and remedied. This could have involved installing high strength glass or coating the existing windows with specialized protection. However, it is not clear as to what happened yet and our office will be investigating all possible scenarios.\n– Sexual abuse – on the rise or more noticeable?<\/a><\/blockquote>\nIf you were injured during the attack or if you lost a loved one contact our office<\/a> for a confidential consultation.<\/div>\n
