Negligent security involves a property owner failing to provide safe conditions, such as adequate lighting, functional locks, security staff, or reliable surveillance, which leads to harm. If the owner knew or should have known about the risk and failed to act, you may have a claim. Answers depend on the specifics of the incident and local laws.
Anyone injured due to negligent security can pursue a claim, including customers, residents, and visitors. If a minor is involved, a guardian may file on their behalf. The exact eligibility depends on the relationship to the property and the circumstances of the incident.
