Negligent Security
Holding Property Owners Accountable for Your Safety
When you attend a concert, visit a hotel, or park in a public lot, you expect to be safe. Unfortunately, negligent security can turn an ordinary outing into a nightmare. Property owners and event organizers have a legal duty to provide adequate security measures to protect guests from foreseeable harm. When they fail, innocent people can suffer serious injuries or worse. If you were hurt at an event or attacked on someone else’s property, our experienced negligent security lawyers are here to fight for your rights.
What Is Negligent Security?
Security negligence occurs when a property owner or business fails to implement reasonable safety measures to prevent crimes or injuries.
These oversights create opportunities for assaults, robberies, and other violent crimes. When property owners ignore these risks, they can be held liable for injuries that occur as a result.
This can include:
- Lack of security personnel at large events
- Broken or missing locks on doors and gates
- Poor lighting in parking lots or stairwells
- No surveillance cameras in high-risk areas
- Failure to respond to prior criminal activity on the property
Common Locations for Negligent Security Incidents
Security negligence cases often arise in places where people expect safety but face hidden dangers, such as:
- Concert venues and sporting events
- Hotels and resorts
- Apartment complexes
- Shopping malls
- Parking garages and lots
- Bars and nightclubs
If you were attacked or injured in any of these settings, you may have a strong claim against the property owner or management company.
Injuries Caused by Negligent Security
Victims of negligent security often suffer severe physical and emotional harm, including:
