Negligent security claims involve proving that a property owner owed a duty of care to keep visitors reasonably safe, and that a breach of that duty led to an injury.
These cases often require evidence such as incident reports, surveillance footage, maintenance records, and expert analysis to establish liability and damages.
Negligent security occurs when a property owner fails to implement reasonable security measures, such as proper lighting, functioning locks, and security cameras, resulting in an injury to a visitor or resident.
Elements include duty, breach, causation, and damages. The process often starts with a claim investigation, collecting evidence, negotiating with insurers, and, if needed, pursuing a lawsuit in court.
