Negligent Security
Additional Information
What Are Examples of Negligent Security?
Negligent security cases involve a victim coming to harm at a commercial or residential property due to the owner not taking appropriate steps to keep the property safe. While there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to installing adequate security, general examples of negligent security can include:
- Broken security cameras
- Blocked emergency exits
- Untrained security guards
- Broken fencing
- Unlocked gates
- Inadequate lighting
Unfortunately, negligent security can lead to serious and violent crimes such as sexual assault, shootings, robberies, stabbings, and battery. The consequences for a victim can be lifelong emotional suffering as well as a variety of debilitating physical injuries, and in some cases death.
However, if the careless attitude of a property owner contributed to a crime taking place, legal recourse may be available for victims. Those left behind when a loved one dies as a result of negligent security may also be able to file a lawsuit.
Negligent security cases can be tough to prove in some cases. There can be different interpretations about what a reasonable timeframe is in which the owner should have taken action, such as repair lighting or fix a broken security camera. Therefore, if you have suffered injuries and financial losses in a negligent security incident, having a negligent security lawyer build your case can be a great help.
What To Do
Many victims of violent crime are left without recourse, especially if the perpetrator of the crime has disappeared, or they do not have the means of compensating the victim.
Victims may not realize that they may have the option of holding a property owner liable for their injuries and financial damages.
If a property owner’s carelessness and negligence caused your damages, you may have recourse, and they should make you whole again. If you can prove that the owner neglected the security of their premises and should have been able to foresee a crime, you could receive compensation.
While litigating negligent security cases can be complex, and the property owner will likely fight a claim tooth and nail, legal help is available. We can thoroughly research your case and gather the necessary evidence to prove that the owner acted negligently and should have foreseen a crime.
