Most People Don’t Know They Can Sue for Negligent Security
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.
Where Negligent Security Cases Arise
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.

Negligent Security FAQs
Can I sue a property owner for someone else’s crime?
Yes. If inadequate security created a foreseeable risk, the owner can be held responsible under premises liability law.
What if the attacker was never caught?
You can still file a negligent security claim. Your case is against the property owner, and no criminal conviction is required.
How do I know if security was inadequate?
We investigate. Broken locks, poor lighting, missing security staff, or prior incidents may show a failure to protect guests.
How long do I have to file?
Deadlines vary by state and property type, and government claims often require shorter notice. Contact us quickly to protect your rights.
