Victim of Negligent Security?

When the business or property owner fails to provide and maintain proper security and a person is injured, there may be grounds for a negligent security case. Talk to an attorney if you’ve been injured on a property with:

• Inadequate lighting
• Ineffective surveillance
• A delayed response time to alerts or emergency calls
• Improperly trained security guards
• A lack of warnings about known dangers on the property

So what constitutes adequate security and what constitutes negligence? Property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises safe and protect patrons from harm; when they fail to uphold this standard, they put people at risk for accidents or even violent attacks.

A property’s required level of security depends on factors like:

• Location of the property
• Purpose of the property
• Community crime rate
• Previous incidents

A gas station in a crime-heavy area that has had incidents in the past might, for example, require more extensive security measures than an elementary school in a low-crime neighborhood. Regardless of where the security standard falls, however, it is the business or property owner’s job to meet it.
