These cases require careful investigation, documentation of losses, and a plan to pursue compensation for medical expenses, time away from work, and other impacts.
A negligent security claim asserts that a property owner owed a duty of care to visitors, breached that duty by failing to implement adequate security, and caused injury as a result.
