A negligent security claim arises when a property owner or manager fails to provide reasonable security measures, and someone is injured as a result.
Common examples include poor lighting, broken locks, missing surveillance, or insufficient security staff at a property such as a shopping center, apartment complex, hotel, or office building.
Negligent security claims fall under premises liability. The owner has a duty to keep invitees reasonably safe, and failure to meet that duty can lead to liability for injuries caused by unsafe conditions.
The main elements include duty, breach, causation, and damages. Our team guides you through gathering evidence, evaluating liability, and pursuing a fair resolution through negotiation or, if necessary, litigation.
