Examples of Negligent Security
Negligent security can take many forms depending on the type of property and what reasonable precautions should have been in place. Common examples include:
- Inadequate lighting in parking lots, stairwells, and walkways
- Broken or missing locks on doors, gates, or entry points
- Non-functioning alarm systems or surveillance cameras
- Lack of trained or attentive security personnel
- Failure to respond to known criminal activity on or near the premises
In some cases, property owners cut corners to save money or ignore past incidents that should have prompted stronger security. We work to uncover the full picture and use that evidence to support your claim.
Where Do Negligent Security Incidents Happen?
Negligent security claims can arise in a variety of settings. If your injury occurred in any of the following locations, you may have a valid case:
- Apartment complexes
- Hotels and motels
- Shopping malls
- Nightclubs or bars
- Parking garages or surface lots
- Office buildings
- Parks or recreation centers
- Convenience stores or gas stations
Whether your injury occurred on private, commercial, or public property, our legal team will review the circumstances to determine liability and the best course of action.
What Are the Consequences of Inadequate Security?
Failing to implement proper security can result in serious harm, including:
- Robbery or theft
- Physical assault or battery
- Sexual assault
- Gun violence or stabbings
- Emotional trauma and PTSD
The physical, psychological, and financial consequences can be long-lasting. Victims are often left with not just medical bills and lost wages, but also the emotional burden of knowing their suffering could have been prevented.
