Negligent security occurs when a property owner fails to implement adequate safety measures, putting visitors at risk of harm. These safety measures may include hiring security personnel, installing proper lighting, maintaining surveillance systems, or addressing known security threats.
Victims of negligent security may suffer physical injuries, emotional trauma, and financial losses. By pursuing a claim with a qualified negligent security lawyer, you can seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain, suffering, and more.
Negligent security can occur in various settings, often with devastating consequences. Below are some common examples:
Each case of negligent security is unique, but all share a common thread: preventable harm due to someone else’s failure to act responsibly.
Pursuing a negligent security claim requires expertise in personal injury law and an understanding of premises liability. A skilled negligent security lawyer from Bigger Law will:
Investigate Your Case
We gather evidence, review surveillance footage, interview witnesses, and consult with experts to build a strong case.
Identify Liable Parties
Property owners, management companies, or third-party contractors may share responsibility for negligent security measures.
Prove Negligence
To succeed in your claim, we must demonstrate that the property owner breached their duty of care, resulting in your injuries.
Negotiate a Fair Settlement
Insurance companies often undervalue claims. We fight for maximum compensation to cover your losses.
Litigate if Necessary
If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are fully prepared to take your case to court and advocate for your rights.
To win a negligent security case, your lawyer must establish the following elements:
Property owners have a legal obligation to ensure the safety of visitors. This duty includes addressing foreseeable risks, such as prior criminal activity in the area.
When property owners fail to take reasonable steps to ensure safety, they breach their duty. Examples include ignoring broken locks, neglecting to hire security guards, or failing to maintain adequate lighting.
Your lawyer must prove that the breach of duty directly caused your injuries. This requires a clear connection between the property owner’s negligence and the harm you suffered.
Victims must demonstrate measurable losses, such as medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, or emotional distress, to secure compensation.
