In suburban communities like Seven Hills, incidents can happen in places you wouldn’t expect—apartment entryways, shared parking areas, busier commercial storefronts, and multi-tenant properties where residents and visitors rotate throughout the day.
In these cases, the defense often argues:
- “We didn’t know anything like this would happen,” or
- “Our security was fine,” or
- “The attacker was the only cause.”
Your strongest path forward usually depends on whether the risk was foreseeable to the property owner and whether they took reasonable steps for the type of people and activity that regularly occur on-site.
