Most people who go shopping at a store are expecting to have a good shopping experience. No one gets in a car or walks to a store to get robbed! People who are robbed are susceptible to be personally injured by a robber’s physical attack, and injuries resulting from that dangerous encounter. A victim of a robbery is injured many of the times, and can have the personal property, money or more taken, or even be sexually assaulted as a result of the robbery.
As a person is being attacked by a robber, the victim often severely underestimates the violent nature of the robber. Some robbers do not care about the life, limb or possessions of the victim, and will take anything that they want to snatch off of the victim during the robbery. There are people who have died trying to keep and hold onto their possessions during a robbery.
Shot, Beaten Up, Fell
Your best bet is to discuss this case with a lawyer with experience in dealing with robberies, and the personal injuries victims can have during a robbery. A person who is being robbed can be shot, beaten up, or fall backwards sustaining a serious back, neck, head or other fracture of bones on account of the fall. The robbery may also result in a sexual assault, or even a homicide. Everything that happens in a robbery happens at lightning speed, and usually there is little time for the victim to react to save his or her life, or the lives of their families.
The only way that you will win this type of lawsuit, is with an attorney with expertise in managing victims with personal injuries as the result of a robbery. If this has happened to you, we are sorry that you have had to go through this terrifying and traumatic experience that you did not choose to happen to you. If you have been injured in a robbery, then you should call the attorneys who specialize in winning lawsuits with people who have been traumatized as victims of a robbery.
Can I Sue the Business Owner for Lack of Security?
Yes, a business owner is fully responsible to keep a safe environment of the people who are in the area of the store, at the business, and who are customers at the establishment. The business owner by protecting the store customers is also protecting the shop merchandise, and the business reputation. No one will go to a store long, if it has the reputation of being the “Robbery Store” or a place to get “Roughed Up.” This is a ridiculous idea, that a store owner can just stand by and allow the store to be taken over by robbers. If this is the case, then you have to ask yourself, “Why is that store owner in business anyway?”
Negligent Security and Failure to Provide Security
The answer is YES if they have had previous robberies at that location and or if the store is located in a high crime area which is known for frequent robberies. Additionally, you can bring an action for damages and losses if the store is located in an area that is a common location for robberies. In the latter case, the store owner knew or should have known that there is frequent criminal activity at the store location. It is up to the store owner to do something about this situation if it is the case.

Have You Been Injured in a Robbery at a Check Cashing Facility, Bank, 7-11 or Convenience Store?
Many people every year are injured seriously in criminal attacks and robberies at check cashing facilities, banks, 7-11’s or at a convenience store. Oftentimes, the assailants have weapons and are at the highest advantage to scare and intimidate their victims. Some people have the ability to fight MMA fighting style to ward off an attack on their person. But the average person does not partake in kickboxing and hand to hand combat for a living, and therefore will be unable to ward off a robbery assailant at a store or other facility.
People who are interested in taking advantage of others and robbing others see anything they do as gratuitous and free chances to get free money. The people who go to and utilize an ATM are not expecting to be a victim of a robbery. They are just taking money out of an ATM, and are basically minding their own business, when they are often viciously attacked by a robber. If this does occur in an area of high crime, then it is the fault of the owner of the store or area where there is an ATM, if there are no security measures put into place.
If a person is the owner of a business that keeps getting robbed, it is up to the business owner to be responsible and pro-active to ensure that the property is still safe all day every day for the consumers and patrons who are in that area. Everyone attacked by a robber will not be able to use countermeasures to prevent a robbery.
Fault can be established in these types of cases, especially when the robbery occurs in areas that there has been a propensity for robberies in the past. If the personal confrontation comes to blows, then the owner of the property is going to be responsible for the personal injuries of the patrons who frequent the stores or areas for business and commerce.
If this has happened to you, then you need to talk to a lawyer regarding your case. An experienced attorney will know how to proceed to a successful lawsuit on the merits, when you have been attacked and sustained personal injuries as the result of a robbery.
