When Poor Security Becomes a Legal Issue
Security negligence occurs when a property owner does not take reasonable steps to keep visitors safe.
This can include a parking lot without adequate lighting, broken locks on apartment entrances, or the absence of security staff in areas where incidents are likely to happen. Even outdated or non-functioning security cameras can create risks that put people in harm’s way.
When these lapses happen, the results can be serious: assaults in stairwells, robberies in unmonitored garages, or injuries from hazards that should have been fixed. These situations might feel random in the moment, but in many cases, they could have been prevented with basic safety measures.
Property owners carry a legal responsibility to protect those who live, work, or visit their premises. The heart of a premises liability claim is determining whether proper security could have stopped the injury.
When the answer is yes, the law may give you the right to seek compensation for the losses you and your family face.
What to Do After an Injury on Unsafe Property
Start by getting medical attention right away, even for injuries that may seem minor. Document the conditions by taking photos or videos and writing down the details of what happened. When appropriate, report the incident to law enforcement or the property manager.
The final step is to speak with an attorney who can review your case and guide you through your legal options.
