Injuries Resulting From Negligent Security

Hotel and apartment owners, property managers, bar owners, and other owners and operators of premises have an obligation to ensure that they provide a safe environment for patrons, customers, tenants, guests, and other occupants and visitors. If the environment is not safe and someone is assaulted, negligent security could be the charge.

Here’s What Can Happen

Inadequate security claims stem from a failure of a public or private entity to guard against preventable criminal acts. Negligent security claims often result from assaults, sexual assaults, rapes, shootings, and theft. These claims can seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

What Does ‘Inadequate Security’ Mean?

In pursuing negligent security cases, we seek to demonstrate that a hotel or apartment owner or other property owner was aware of a potential security danger and failed to take action. Some of the common steps business owners fail to take to protect people include:

• Failure to staff security guards
• Failure to install security cameras
• Poor lighting in parking ramps, parking lots, or stairwells
• Failure to properly secure entry doors and gates
• Failure to properly screen security guards and other employees
• Failure to install or maintain adequate intercoms and door locks

Our firm has over 50 years of experience helping people with serious injuries. We can help people obtain compensation in negligent security claims for medical bills, lost income, and mental anguish. We work closely with our clients to understand the cause and consequences of their injuries. Then, we work diligently to maximize the compensation they receive.
