The plaintiff contends that her personal injuries resulting from the assault by a third party fall within the statutory language of §§ 47a-7 and 47a-13. More specifically, she claims that the defendants were required to supply adequate security as an “essential service” and that their failure to provide this service makes them liable for “actual damages.” The plaintiff argues that actual damages encompasses personal injury damages, including pain and suffering.
