VICTIM OF NEGLIGENT SECURITY? GET A LAWYER
You May Be Owed Compensation.
You May Qualify for Significant Compensation Free Claim Review
Anyone who has walked through a parking lot alone at night has likely experienced a heightened awareness of their surroundings. That’s because the same area isn’t equally safe at all times, and not all business and property owners live up to the legal obligation of keeping their premises secure. Owners who are guilty of negligent security may fail to protect their patrons from danger, and they may be held responsible if the worst happens.

What Factors Influence Security Standards?
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.
What Are Examples 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
I noticed that at Morgan & Morgan, the attorneys and staff truly care about their clients, and actually enjoy helping them. It is so refreshing to see attorneys that care about their clients well being.
