When you visit a store, mall, hotel, nightclub, etc., you rightfully assume that the owner of that property has taken reasonable measures to protect you from harm. If someone falls on uneven flooring, for example, they can secure compensation through a Chicago premises liability claim. But, unfortunately, not all injuries are the result of an accident; injuries are caused by criminal attacks too. When a property or business owner fails to do this and someone is injured as a result, a negligent security claim can help bring that owner to justice. When a patron sustains a foreseeable injury as a result of inadequate security, the property owner can be held liable for the damages through a negligent security lawsuit.
