When Property Owners Fail, We Step In

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a negligent security claim?

    A negligent security claim is a legal action against a property owner or manager who failed to take reasonable steps to prevent foreseeable criminal activity, leading to your injury.

  • What are examples of negligent security?

    Negligent security can include:


    • Lack of security cameras or surveillance
    • Broken or missing locks
    • Inadequate lighting in common areas or parking lots
    • No trained security staff on-site
    • Failure to respond to prior incidents of crime on the property

  • Do I have a case if the crime happened in a “bad neighborhood”?

    Yes. Property owners still have a responsibility to increase security in higher-risk areas. In fact, prior incidents can strengthen your claim by showing the danger was foreseeable.

  • Can I sue both the property owner and the security company?

    In many cases, yes. If a third-party security company was contracted and failed to perform its duties, they may also share liability. We investigate all responsible parties to maximize your recovery.
