Protecting Victims of Unsafe Environments
When property owners fail to provide adequate security measures, innocent people can become victims of violent crimes such as assault, robbery, or worse. Negligent security is a form of premises liability, where the property owner’s failure to provide reasonable safety measures leads to preventable harm. At Aloia|Roland, our experienced personal injury attorneys are committed to holding property owners accountable and fighting for justice for victims of negligent security.
What is Negligent Security?
Negligent security occurs when a property owner or business fails to implement reasonable security measures to protect visitors, tenants, or customers from foreseeable dangers. This can happen at a variety of locations, including:
- Apartment complexes
- Hotels and motels
- Parking lots and garages
- Shopping centers and malls
- Nightclubs, bars, and restaurants
- Concert venues and event spaces
- College campuses
- Office buildings
When proper security is not in place, and someone is injured or assaulted, the property owner may be held liable for their negligence.
Common Examples of Negligent Security
Some common security lapses that can lead to injuries include:
- Lack of Security Personnel: Failure to hire or maintain adequate security guards in high-risk areas or during events.
- Inadequate Lighting: Poor lighting in parking lots, stairwells, or other public areas, which can create opportunities for criminal activity.
- Non-Functioning Security Cameras: Lack of surveillance cameras or failure to maintain cameras that could deter crime or capture critical evidence.
- Broken or Unlocked Doors/Gates: Failure to maintain secure entrances, exits, or gates, allowing unauthorized individuals to access the property.
- Lack of Security Alarms: Failure to install or maintain alarm systems in areas prone to crime.
- Inadequate Response to Prior Incidents: Ignoring previous incidents of criminal activity without enhancing security measures, leaving visitors at risk.
Who is Liable in a Negligent Security Case?
Property owners have a legal duty to ensure that their premises are reasonably safe. If they fail to do so and someone is harmed due to inadequate security, they can be held liable for injuries and damages. Potentially liable parties may include:
- Property owners or landlords
- Business owners or managers
- Security companies contracted to provide protection
- Event organizers or promoters
