Texas Lawbook Features Firm’s Litigation Against Dollar Tree Alleging Nationwide Pattern of Safety Failures
The Texas Lawbook recently featured Blizzard Greenberg partner Anna Greenberg in an in-depth report of ongoing litigation against Dollar Tree arising from sexual assaults at multiple store locations nationwide.
The article centers on a Harris County lawsuit filed on behalf of a Houston woman who alleges she was sexually assaulted while shopping at the River Oaks Dollar Tree store. The coverage places that case in the broader context of similar incidents at Dollar Tree locations nationwide, examining whether the retailer had notice of a pattern of criminal activity tied to chronic understaffing and inadequate security measures.
In the feature, Ms. Greenberg explains that these cases present urgent questions about corporate responsibility when retailers are on notice of repeat criminal conduct and fail to take meaningful action to protect customers.
“I would say it’s a uniquely vile sex crime, and my clients are uniquely injured here because it’s happening to them in a public space,” Greenberg told The Lawbook in a recent interview. “They are customers at a store, minding their own business and often are approached from behind and don’t know what’s happening to them until it’s too late.”
