What Is Negligent Security?
Negligent security refers to a property owner’s failure to take reasonable steps to ensure the safety of visitors. This often occurs at places like apartment complexes, shopping centers, parking lots, hotels, and nightclubs. Examples of negligent security include:
- Insufficient lighting in parking areas
- Lack of functioning security cameras
- Failure to hire security personnel in high-risk areas
- Broken or faulty locks on doors and windows
- Poorly maintained or unlocked gates and fences
When these lapses lead to assaults, robberies, or other crimes, victims have the right to hold property owners accountable.
How Negligent Security Cases Work
To pursue a negligent security claim, you must prove that the property owner failed to take reasonable precautions and that this failure directly contributed to your injuries. This process often involves:
- Establishing that the property owner had a duty to provide security
- Demonstrating how the owner’s negligence created unsafe conditions
- Proving that these unsafe conditions were a direct cause of the incident
- Documenting the damages you suffered, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering
