NEGLIGENT SECURITY

A car accident scene in an urban area with a white car and a flipped truck, with high-rise apartments in the background.

Negligent security cases arise when a property owner; a landlord, hotel, apartment complex, bar, or shopping center fails to provide reasonable security measures, and a visitor is injured as a result of criminal activity on the premises. This could mean broken locks, inadequate lighting in a parking lot, absent security personnel, or a failure to respond to a known pattern of crime in the area. These cases require proving the crime was foreseeable and that reasonable security measures could have prevented it. Our attorneys investigate prior incidents at the property, security policies, and local crime data to build a case against property owners who put profit ahead of safety.
