Personal Injury
Negligent Security
When a violent crime was made possible by security that was not there.
Overview
Understanding Negligent Security cases
When someone is assaulted or attacked on a business’s property, the criminal is not always the only one responsible. Apartment complexes, hotels, parking facilities, bars, and stores can be liable when they knew about crime risks and chose not to address them — with lighting, locks, cameras, staffing, or trained security.
These cases turn on foreseeability and choices: prior crimes on and around the property, complaints and warnings, industry security standards, and what the owner spent — or refused to spend — to protect the people it invited in.
We investigate the property’s history, uncover the decisions behind the missing security, and pursue accountability for survivors with the care and discretion these cases deserve.
