Negligent Security
A negligent security case is a type of
premises liability
claim resulting from injuries sustained as a result
of being assaulted while using a business or privately
owned property. Every year, thousands of people are
injured as a result of an assault, rape, robbery, or
other vicious attacks occurring in store or restaurant
parking lots, parking ramps, college campuses, apartment
complexes and hotels. A significant number of attacks
are preventable through the use of security measures
such as adequate lighting, fences, security staff and
video surveillance cameras.
Property owners, managers or occupiers have a duty
to ensure that persons on their premises are not victimized
by foreseeable crimes. If they fail to provide adequate
security and a crime such as rape, robbery, or assault
results, they may be held liable for damages.
These injured victims typically incur
expenses related to the incident such as medical treatment,
rehabilitation, medication, or lost income due to their
inability to work. They may also lose the ability to
perform various activities of normal daily living, in
both the short and long term, and may endure pain and
suffering. Beyond the physical injury that one suffers
from these types of incidents, often times the more
debilitating injury is the emotional and/or psychological
impact. Business owners may be held accountable for
the physical and psychological injuries caused by their
negligence.
It is important for you to seek the
advice of a lawyer in order to protect your right to
fair compensation.
