$1,300,000.00 Settlement in Negligent Security Case
Philadelphia, Pa. (June 10, 2010) – $1,300,000.00 settlement for the assault of a building occupant due to negligent security services provided by a property management company and security provider.
The incident occurred in a high rise office building. Prior to the assault, a criminal was allowed to enter the building, before normal business hours, without providing identification to security personnel. After gaining improper access to the premises, he then brutally attacked the plaintiff during the course of a robbery.
Plaintiff was cut and slashed numerous times and had resulting wounds and scars on her arms, hands and ear. Following her recovery from the initial wounds, she developed neurologic hyperpathia, an increased pain sensation upon touch.
She was further diagnosed with severe post-traumatic stress disorder resulting in panic attacks, anxiety and depression. This case was settled, prior to trial, during a non-binding mediation. The case was handled by Lee D. Rosenfeld, of Messa & Associates, P.C.
