What a Bus Stop Assault Claim Is<\/h2>\n

A bus stop assault claim asks whether the party controlling the space failed to protect people from a foreseeable attack. New Mexico calls this type of claim negligent security.<\/p>\n

New Mexico’s jury instructions say a landowner must use ordinary care to keep the premises safe for visitors. The New Mexico premises duty instruction<\/a> applies in these cases. The same instruction says a landowner must protect visitors from harm caused by the foreseeable conduct of a third party, including criminal conduct.<\/p>\n

Bus stops, transit shelters, station platforms, and nearby lots can all raise these questions. The owner or manager of the space often matters most. A claim looks at whether the harm was foreseeable and whether reasonable protection was in place.<\/p>\n

This page is for two groups. One is a person hurt in an assault at or near a bus stop. The other is a family that lost a loved one in such an attack. For an overview of the firm’s negligent security work, see the negligent security lawyer page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
