“Liability Issues in Private Security”
Peter G. Skiko -
Pete Skiko is an ASIS member and equity partner at downtown Chicago
litigation firm Swanson, Martin & Bell. Pete has been a Chicago
trial lawyer for 20 years, and specializes in representing security
services providers who are sued over allegations of excessive force,
failure to prevent third-party criminal acts and other negligence
that leads to personal injury or property damage. Pete is currently
defending the security service whose guard was taken hostage during
the triple-homicide at 500 West Madison in December of 2006, and has
successfully defended security service providers in contract, tort
and insurance coverage disputes for many years. Pete also handles
other high-profile catastrophic loss cases, including the defense of
building owner Cook County in the litigation stemming from the
County Building high-rise fire that claimed six lives in October of
2003. Pete will discuss actual shooting death and other third-party
criminal cases where the security provider's contract language was
critical to the judge's decision to dismiss the security provider
and the company that hired the security provider or to allow the
case to go to a jury.
Pete will be also speaking about legal issues facing both contract
and proprietary security providers, including:
· Factors that will determine whether a contract security provider
can be held liable for failing to safeguard against the criminal
acts of others.
· How security contractors can significantly impact the extent of
their potential liability simply by drafting their contracts a
certain way - or asking/insisting that certain language be added or
removed from their clients' contracts.
· How business owners can avoid liability for negligent hiring,
retention and training of their guards.
