Negligent security is a type of premises liability claim that may arise when a property owner or business fails to take reasonable steps to protect visitors from foreseeable criminal activity.
Depending on the circumstances, security concerns may include everything from inadequate lighting or broken or missing gates, locks, or security systems, unsafe parking areas or entrances to failure to warn about known dangers.
Determining whether a property owner may be responsible requires looking closely at the circumstances surrounding the incident and the property's history and security measures.
At Kushel Law Group, we help injured pedestrians and their families understand their rights and pursue the compensation they may be entitled to after an accident. We take the time to understand how the injury has affected your life and work to hold responsible parties accountable when negligence contributes to a crash.

Negligent security claims can arise in many different types of properties, including:
An unexpected act of violence can leave you dealing with physical injuries, emotional trauma, medical expenses, and other challenges.
If you've been injured in an incident involving potentially inadequate security, seek medical attention first. Report the incident, document the scene and any security concerns, collect witness information, and keep copies of reports and related communications. Important evidence, including surveillance footage, may not be preserved indefinitely.
Property owners may have a responsibility to take reasonable steps to protect visitors from foreseeable harm. When inadequate security contributes to an injury, determining liability can be complicated.
