Whether a university or college might be liable for the murder of a college student will be fact dependent. In some cases, an institution of higher education may be liable when a murder occurs. For example, if the university provided inadequate security on campus or in a dormitory, it may be liable for a resulting death. A college might also be liable if it knew or had reason to know about a student’s propensity for violence combined with threats to harm a particular student if it failed to warn the victim of the threats. The attorneys at Lamber Goodnow can analyze the facts to determine all of the parties that should be named as defendants to a lawsuit.
