What should I do immediately after being the victim of a violent crime due to inadequate security?
If you are injured in an assault, shooting, or robbery on commercial or residential property, take these immediate steps: 1. Call 911 immediately so police officers secure the scene and emergency medical personnel treat your injuries. 2. Undergo a comprehensive medical evaluation to document all physical trauma. 3. Report the incident directly to property management and request a written incident report. 4. Preserve critical physical evidence, including photographs of broken locks, defective gates, dark lighting, your injuries, and clothing. 5. Collect contact information from eyewitnesses. Jeffrey S. Altman and The Altman Law Firm can promptly send formal spoliation letters demanding the preservation of property surveillance footage.
