Have You Been Injured Due to Negligent Security?
Property owners have a responsibility to ensure their premises are safe. When they fail to provide adequate security, the consequences can be devastating. At Dermer Law, we advocate for victims of negligent security, helping them seek justice and the compensation they deserve.
Negligent security occurs when a property owner or manager fails to implement reasonable safety measures, leading to injuries, assaults, or other harm. These cases often involve incidents at apartment complexes, shopping centers, parking garages, or other public areas where security measures are expected. At Dermer Law, we understand the devastating impact of these incidents and are committed to holding negligent parties accountable.
Common Examples of Negligent Security
Negligent security can arise in various scenarios. Here are some of the most common examples:
Inadequate Lighting
Poor lighting in parking lots, stairwells, or pathways can create opportunities for criminal activity and put visitors at risk of harm.
Lack of Security Personnel
The absence of trained security guards in high-risk areas can lead to preventable crimes or injuries.
Faulty Security Equipment
Broken locks, malfunctioning surveillance cameras, or inadequate fencing can make it easier for intruders to access the property.
Failure to Respond to Known Risks
Property owners who ignore prior incidents of crime or fail to address safety complaints may be held liable for resulting harm.
Lack of Screening for Tenants or Guests
Negligence in vetting tenants or allowing unauthorized individuals onto the property can endanger residents and visitors.
Proving Negligent Security Claims
To succeed in a negligent security claim, you must demonstrate that the property owner’s actions (or lack thereof) directly contributed to your injury. Our experienced team at Dermer Law is here to help you build a strong case.
Duty of Care
The property owner had a legal obligation to provide reasonable security measures to protect visitors or residents.
Breach of Duty
The property owner failed to meet this obligation, resulting in unsafe conditions.
Causation
There must be a clear connection between the lack of security and the harm you suffered.
Damages
Victims must show tangible damages, such as medical expenses, lost wages, or emotional trauma, as a result of the incident.
