Security negligence is a term used to describe when a property owner fails to put in place basic security measures, such as lighting or fencing. You may lock or install an alarm in your vehicle, but your safety can be at risk if property owners fail to take reasonable security precautions.
For instance, if someone is assaulted and suffers a severe injury at an apartment complex where violent crime is known to be rampant, and certain measures, such as retaining security guards, were not put into place, a property owner may be negligent. A qualified attorney can help you secure the full compensation you deserve.
It is only necessary in negligent security cases that the property owners be able to foresee that some injury will likely result in some manner because of their negligence. To establish this in a personal injury case, a court will consider:
Property crimes typically occur before crimes against people are committed. For example, a criminal breaking into a car who is surprised in the middle of the act by the owner of the car may assault the owner.
