Zimmermann family sues management company alleging lack of proper security

County, city and university attorneys met in Dane County Circuit Court Thursday to fight subpoenas against various officials in the latest lawsuit filed by the family of slain UW-Madison student Brittany Zimmermann, The Capital Times reported.

Zimmermannâ??s parents are suing Wisconsin Management Company Inc., who manage the property at 517 W. Doty St. where an intruder killed Brittany on April 2, alleging that unsafe living conditions contributed to her death. The Capital Times reported the lawsuit alleges the management company â??knowingly failed to provide adequate security to residentsâ? after Zimmermannâ??s fiancé Jordan Gonnering complained about the lack of secure doors and locks.
