Negligent security claims involve assessing whether a property owner or manager failed to provide reasonable safeguards that protect visitors from foreseeable harm.
Our team reviews the incident facts, determines duties, and guides you from initial consultation to any negotiated settlement or resolution.
Negligent security occurs when a property owner or security provider does not take reasonable steps to deter crime, resulting in injuries that could have been prevented with better protections.
Key elements include the duty of care, breach of that duty, causation linking the security failure to injuries, and the damages you incur. Our firm collects incident reports, surveillance footage, witness statements, medical records, and insurance information to build a strong claim and support negotiations.
Common terms used in these cases and how they apply in practice.
Failure to implement reasonable security measures that would prevent harm to visitors.
