A negligent security claim requires showing the property owner owed a duty to keep visitors reasonably safe and breached that duty through inadequate security measures.
Evidence such as incident reports, surveillance video, maintenance records, and medical documentation can help establish liability and damages.
In these cases a property owner or manager may be held responsible when failing to provide adequate lighting, secure locks, staffed security, or functioning surveillance that prevent harm.
The core elements are duty, breach, causation and damages. The process typically includes client intake, fact gathering, demand letters, negotiation and if needed, filing a civil action.
