What Is Negligent Security?

Negligent security refers to a business or property owner's failure to implement reasonable security measures to prevent criminal activities on their premises. When owners neglect their duty to provide adequate security, innocent individuals can become victims of crimes and suffer costly yet preventable losses.

Incidents and Injuries Due to Negligent Security

Our team tackles tough negligent security cases involving the following incidents and injuries, among others.

Assault

Assault cases resulting from negligent security can lead to severe physical and emotional trauma for the victim. Assaults might happen in the context of bar fights, altercations at sports arenas, and many other situations. Inadequate lighting, broken security equipment, or a lack of security personnel can create an environment that encourages assaults.

Robbery

Property owners have a responsibility to ensure the safety of visitors and occupants, including safety from the forced theft of their property. Failure to implement proper security measures can make properties vulnerable to robberies, putting individuals at risk of violence, harm, and financial loss.

Carjacking

Parking lots and garages with insufficient security features can become hotspots for carjacking incidents. Victims of carjacking due to negligent security may suffer serious injuries and emotional distress.

Sexual Abuse

Inadequate security in places like hotels, parking facilities, or even residential buildings can increase the likelihood of sexual abuse crimes. Victims of sexual abuse due to negligent security have the right to seek justice and compensation for their suffering.

Holding Property Owners Accountable

Property owners and insurance companies can be held accountable for injuries and damages caused by negligent security practices. Our legal team at Schwed, Adams & McGinley has a proven track record of advocating for victims of negligent security and ensuring that responsible parties are held liable for their negligence.

Proving Liability

When proving premises liability in a negligent security case, the key is demonstrating that the property owner failed to provide adequate safety measures. This includes showing that they knew or should have known about the security risks present on their premises. Your attorney will meticulously gather evidence such as surveillance footage, police reports, and witness testimony to strengthen your case.

Proving Damages

Proving damages is crucial in a negligent security claim. Your lawyer will work tirelessly to quantify the physical, emotional, and financial losses you have suffered due to the inadequate security measures. This can include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. Your attorney will ensure that all damages are accurately calculated and presented to maximize your compensation.

We will skillfully advocate for your rights and work toward a fair settlement that adequately compensates you for your losses.
