Negligent Security and Protection Cause Personal Injury

Negligent Security and Protection Cause Personal Injury

Negligent security liability is a claim against a property owner for harm caused through the reckless or intentional criminal conduct of another person, or due to the negligence to provide adequate security which results in injury or death. This claim places a duty on the land or business owner to protect them from the criminal acts of others that cause injury that may occur due to lack of sufficient security, lighting, crowd control, or warnings for example.

Location Examples for Negligent Security Claims

Claims for negligent security are typically associated with injuries incurred through a criminal act that happens in and around apartment buildings, parking garages, shopping centers, hotels/motels, and other business where there may be unsupervised areas. Negligent security liability may also be claimed on a school campus, church grounds, outdoor festival and the like – seeing legal counsel after an attack or injury away from home is a first step toward compensation for your injuries and loss.

  • Failure to provide adequate lighting
