Of course, if you’re injured on private property during the commission of a crime, and if you subsequently take legal action against the property owner, that owner may claim that the responsibility for your injury was yours – and may offer one of these assertions as a defense:
1. The victim was not paying attention to his or her surroundings.
2. The victim was injured while trespassing or was injured in a restricted area.
3. A “reasonable” person would have avoided an area that was clearly dangerous.
