The insurer for the former owners of a crime-plagued Clarkston apartment complex has paid $2 million to settle premises liability claims brought by a woman who was raped and robbed by two men when she came home for lunch in 2008.
Last year, the same company paid $1.25 million to settle claims brought by the widow of a taxi driver murdered after he came to pick up a fare at the Alden Ridge Apartments, which has been the scene of “numerous incidents of criminal activity” including “murder, burglary, aggravated assault, armed robbery, shooting, stabbing, discharge of firearms, strongarm robbery, theft, battery, assault, terroristic threats, drug dealing, drug possession, loitering, illegal possession of firearms, criminal trespassing and registered sex offenders living on the property,” according to the rape victim’s filings.
