Do I Have a Negligent Security Claim?

Negligent security refers to a situation where a property owner fails to provide adequate safety measures, leading to injury or harm. This can occur in various locations such as convenience stores, gas stations, shopping malls, parking lots, apartment complexes, hotels, and other public areas where individuals have a right to expect reasonable safety. You may have grounds for a negligent security claim when the property owner’s negligence causes you harm.

Here are some circumstances where you might have a claim:

Lack of security personnel in high-risk areas
Poorly lit stairwells, parking lots, or entryways
Inadequate response to previous criminal activity on the property
Insufficient employee training to handle security threats
