Personal Injury

Negligent Security

Commercial property owners and managers are responsible for taking reasonable precautions to provide a safe environment for those who are invited onto their property. This includes clients, patrons, guests, tenants, and other lawful visitors. In order to ensure the safety of these individuals, property owners must provide reasonable security to protect visitors from foreseeable criminal attacks.

When security is nonexistent or inadequate, property owners may be held liable for injuries sustained by visitors who have become victims of criminal activity.

About Third Party Criminal Attacks Resulting in Injuries

Determining Whether or Not You Have a Negligent Security Case

Each case has its own set of unique facts, circumstances, and merits to weigh when it comes to determining whether or not it qualifies for a third-party injury claim.

The primary considerations in such cases are:

Whether the crime could have been predicted and prevented
Whether security measures were insufficient

Uncovering these facts will require investigation by our team. Taylor & Taylor Law Firm will determine if previous criminal activity has occurred on the property and discover what, if any, measures were taken by the property owners/managers to protect patrons like you.
