Slip and Fall Accidents / Premises Liability Claims : Negligent Security

Businesses Must Provide Reasonable Security for Criminal Acts and Assaults that they Should Reasonably Expect in Conducting Their Business. If You Have Been Assaulted at a Bar or Concert, you Might Have a Personal Injury Claim Against the Property Owner.

When you enter stores, businesses, offices, hotels, and restaurants, the owners have an obligation to protect you from reasonable and foreseeable injuries and crimes. Because you were invited onto their property, they have to take reasonable precautions so that you remain safe from harm.

Negligent Security

Unfortunately, many businesses fail to adequately protect their patrons and visitors from foreseeable harm. When a property owner fails to take proper security measures, their patrons can suffer from stolen property, assaults, robberies, or worse. The question then turns to who is liable for your injuries or stolen property. To help you answer this question, you will need to consult with an experienced negligent security attorney.

“Premises liability” is a legal term that means that the owner of the premises will be liable for certain crimes or torts that occur on their property. If you are assaulted while going to a nightclub or bar, for example, the owner of that bar can be held liable for the patron’s injuries for failing to take adequate security measures. The most common ways that an owner can be held liable for negligent security are:

  • Complete lack of security
  • Inadequate security measures
  • Lack of video cameras
  • Failing to comply with security laws
  • Failing to protect against known or foreseeable harm

Negligent Hiring

Sometimes an employer will hire someone who is unfit to do their job. Other times, they hire someone who has a negative track record, but that the business fails to reasonably investigate that track record. In these cases, the injured victim could hold the employer liable for their damages.

Negligent Supervision

If a property owner knows that their property could potentially be dangerous, that owner has a duty to supervise their property and ensure that no one gets harmed. For example, a public pool can be a very dangerous place, especially for young children. If that pool fails to hire lifeguards to supervise the pool, the pool owner could be held liable if anyone drowns.

Negligent Security

There are certain places where ample security is needed. Clubs, bars, and sporting event locations should have adequate security to protect their patrons from reasonably foreseeable criminal threats.

Of course, not every incident can be treated equally. Sometimes, despite the heinous act done by a third party, the property owner will not be held liable for your injuries. The best way to determine if you have a case is to consult an attorney who has experience in negligent security matters.
