Negligent Security

When you visit a business, apartment complex, or public space, you have the right to expect a safe environment. Unfortunately, inadequate security measures can leave people vulnerable to attacks, theft, or other violent crimes. If you’ve been injured due to negligent security, the attorneys at Mossberg Injury Lawyers are here to help you seek justice and recover compensation.

What Is Negligent Security?

Negligent security occurs when a property owner or manager fails to provide reasonable measures to protect visitors or tenants from foreseeable harm. Common examples include:

• Lack of security personnel: No guards or improperly trained security staff.
• Poor lighting: Dark parking lots, hallways, or entryways.
• Broken locks or gates: Failure to repair or maintain secure entry points.
• No security cameras: Absence of surveillance systems in high-risk areas.
• Inadequate crowd control: Insufficient planning for events or gatherings.

Property owners have a legal duty to protect those who enter their premises. When they fail in this duty, they can be held accountable.

Who Is Liable in a Negligent Security Case?

Liability in negligent security cases often falls on:

1. Property Owners or Managers: Responsible for maintaining a safe environment.
2. Business Operators: Accountable for ensuring adequate security measures.
3. Third-Party Security Companies: Liable if they fail to perform their duties properly.
