Negligent Security

Negligent security cases arise when property owners fail to take reasonable steps to protect visitors from foreseeable harm. Criminal actions, such as assaults or thefts, sometimes occur because a property lacks proper safety measures. Victims of these situations may face significant physical, emotional, and financial hardships.

Common examples of negligent security include:

• Inadequate lighting
• Broken locks
• Absence of security personnel

We provide legal representation to individuals harmed by negligent security. Our team carefully reviews the circumstances surrounding each incident to identify failures in property safety. We can analyze whether property owners could have prevented the harm by addressing security lapses or by responding to prior incidents.
