Negligent Security

Common negligent security cases include:

• Insufficient College Campus Security - College students are more susceptible to attacks, robberies, burglaries, and sexual assaults when walking on campus. Simple safety precautions like installing cameras, fencing, lighting, and hiring security guards can go a long way in preventing crime.
• Failure to Adequately Light Parking Garages - Parking garages are prime areas for criminal activity, especially if they are not properly lit. When parking garages or stairwells are poorly lit or do not have security cameras installed, innocent victims may be robbed, assaulted or attacked.
• Negligent Bank Security and ATM Security - While ATMs are convenient to use, they also attract crime and are prime locations for robberies and assaults. If a bank fails to provide adequate security measures like cameras or good lighting, that bank may be held responsible if you were attacked there.

Other negligent security cases may involve unreliable secured access systems, lack of secured access systems, inadequate lighting at night, or no warning signs.

Negligent security cases can be difficult to prove because you must be able to show that a property owner did not provide adequate security to prevent a foreseeable danger. Our premises liability attorneys know how to build a strong case that proves negligence. We fight to recover financial compensation through a negotiated settlement or at trial.
