Abstract

This paper argues for imposing liability on establishments serving liquor under a premises liability theory when a victim has been sexually assaulted as a result of a tavern’s failure to provide an adequate level of care under a business’s duty to its invitees. It further suggests the creation of an affirmative duty to mitigate such sexual assaults through various preventative measures founded on a “reasonably foreseeable” standard of premises liability.
