'Negligent Security' refers to a business or property owner's failure to adequately secure their property, and provide reasonable protection for their patrons, guests, tenants, or customers. A good example is a low-income apartment complex that doesn't bother to install or fix broken security gates, allowing anyone to access the property and perpetrate heinous crimes. Poor lighting, lack of trained or armed security guards, security cameras, or secure lock or keypad mechanisms are all common examples of ways in which properties can be deficient in security, leading to armed robberies, burglaries, assaults, and sometimes, murder. When these owners are negligent and it results in permanent injury or loss of life, our lawyers can help the surviving families recover by filing a lawsuit for Negligent Security.
