Negligent security is often overlooked in personal injury law. If you were assaulted, robbed, or harmed on someone else’s property, you may have a civil claim against the property owner, not just the offender.
Owners, landlords, and managers must maintain reasonably safe premises with proper lighting, functioning locks, functioning security systems, and, when necessary, trained staff. When they fail to do so and someone is hurt, they can be held liable. These claims can be significant, yet many victims never realize they have one.
Negligent security incidents can occur on any property where a foreseeable risk of harm was not adequately addressed.
A history of prior incidents on or near the property is often a key factor in these cases. It helps establish that the owner knew a risk existed and chose not to address it. We investigate that history as part of building your case.
Call us. We’ll give you a straight answer at no charge.
You tell us what happened. We listen carefully and give you an honest assessment of your potential claim.
Evidence in negligent security cases is time-sensitive. Surveillance footage gets overwritten, records get lost, and properties change.
We dig into the location’s history, including prior incidents, security protocols, maintenance records, and any complaints or violations on file.
We establish that the property owner knew or should have known about the risk and failed to act. This is the core of a negligent security case, and where a thorough investigation makes the difference.
We calculate the complete value of your damages and negotiate hard for a fair outcome. If the property owner or their insurer won’t get there, we take it to court.
