Whenever you are visiting a property or business, you have the right to be reasonably safe. It is the property or business owner’s responsibility and obligation to provide a safe and secure premise. This is not only true for hazards or dangerous conditions but also criminal activity. More often than not, property owners neglect to enact their duty to provide adequate security measures that ensure the safety of visitors. 

If you or someone you know has suffered injuries or damages in an assault, robbery, or other criminal incidents on someone’s property — you may have a negligent security claim on your hands. The Henry Law Firm offers leading legal counsel for these cases through years of dedicated experience and success.

WHAT DOES NEGLIGENT SECURITY LOOK LIKE? 

There are several ways a business or property owner can protect visitors from security issues or violent crimes while on the premises. These include additions such as implementing gates or security cameras. If a business owner neglects to take the necessary precautions to keep a property safe, criminal activity can result in serious injury or even death. Here are some common examples of inadequate or negligent security. 

Absence or Lack of Security Systems 

Property owners, especially those in high-crime areas, should make a reasonable effort to install security measures on the premises. Adequate security systems include alarms, security cameras, door-lock mechanisms, and more. Failing to provide these security systems or neglecting to fix broken implementations could mean they are liable for damages. 

Inadequate or Lack of Security Guards 

For many properties such as concert venues, bars, nightclubs, sports stadiums, and beyond, security guards are necessary. Other examples, however, may be less obvious. Shopping centers or parking garages in high-crime locations are a few examples that may require additional security measures, such as guards. Failing to hire or hiring untrained security guards may lead to negligent security cases. 

Poor or Broken Lighting 

It’s no secret that darkness is a criminal’s best friend. Poorly lit properties, either due to inadequate, broken, or unmaintained lighting, may provide an optimal environment for criminal activity on the premises.

Inadequate and negligent security cases are a type of premises liability law. In order to determine fault in these claims, we exhaust every possible option to prove that a property or business owner failed to take reasonable precautions to provide a safe and secure environment.

• Grocery stores
