Stabbling Outside Philadelphia Center City Night Club Needs Immediate Investigation If Claim Against Owner Is Considered

A 25 year old man was stabbed and in critical condition at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital after he was stabbed in the stomach with a 12-inch knife.  The incident took place after an altercation that took place while leaving "Bump", a "luxe lounge" in Center City Philadephia at 13th and Locust Streets.

If a case of inadequate or lax security is to be considered, the first task after performing a preliminary screening of the claim is to determine the level of crime in the attempt to determine foreseeability of this crime to the potential defendants.  To do this, police reports of the crime on the premises (first) and in the surrounding areas (second) must be obtained.  The first source of crime record data are the printout of calls for service or "grids" and then obtaining the police reports of the crimes to get the specifics of the crimes.  Lastly, the internal records of the potential defendant will eventually have to be reviewed. 

All of this involves prompt investigation by qualified experts.
