Understanding Negligent Security
Negligent security occurs when a property owner or manager fails to take reasonable steps to ensure the safety of visitors or tenants, leading to harm. This can include failing to provide adequate lighting, security personnel, functioning locks, or surveillance cameras in areas where crime is foreseeable. Property owners have a legal obligation to maintain a safe environment, and when they fail to do so, they can be held liable for injuries that result from their negligence.
Common Types of Negligent Security Cases
Our experienced attorneys at Accident Attorney Now handle a wide range of negligent security cases, including but not limited to:
Assaults and Robberies: Injuries resulting from violent crimes such as muggings, assaults, or robberies in poorly secured areas, such as parking lots, apartment complexes, or shopping centers.
Inadequate Lighting: Crimes that occur in poorly lit areas where visibility is compromised, making it easier for criminals to attack unsuspecting victims.
Lack of Security Personnel: Incidents where the absence of security guards or staff contributed to a crime occurring on the property.
Faulty Locks or Gates: Injuries or assaults resulting from broken or non-existent locks, gates, or other barriers that should have been in place to protect visitors or tenants.
Inadequate Surveillance: Crimes that occur in areas where security cameras were either absent, not functioning, or improperly monitored, preventing timely intervention.
Inadequate Emergency Response: Incidents where a lack of proper emergency protocols or slow response times contributed to the severity of the harm suffered.
What to Do If You’ve Been a Victim of Negligent Security
If you or a loved one has been harmed due to negligent security, it is crucial to take the following steps to protect your rights and strengthen your claim:
Seek Immediate Medical Attention: Prioritize your health and well-being by getting medical care for any injuries. Document all treatments and keep records of your medical expenses.
Report the Incident: Contact local law enforcement to report the crime. Ensure that an official police report is filed, and request a copy for your records.
Document the Scene: Take photos of the location where the incident occurred, focusing on any conditions that contributed to the crime, such as poor lighting, broken locks, or lack of security personnel. Gather contact information from any witnesses.
Preserve Evidence: Keep any physical evidence related to the incident, such as clothing, personal items, or anything else that might support your claim.
