How Negligent Security Causes Injuries or Loss of Life
A negligent security lawsuit refers to a type of personal injury claim filed against property owners and other parties who may be held responsible for any injuries suffered while on their property. You may also qualify for compensation if a loved one passed away as a result of negligent security.
Crime and violence occur in places with insufficient or non-existent security. Crime can occur on public and private property as well as government businesses. Lapses in security may extend to:
- Insufficient lighting
- A lack of trained security and safety personnel
- Blocked or inaccessible paths, hallways, or walkways
- Blocked fire doors or emergency exits
- Inadequate training of security and safety staff
- Broken or inoperable security systems, including lights and alarms
- A lack of warning signs and other crime prevention techniques
- Missing or damaged security cameras
In many cases, a simple measure such as installing motion-activated security lights can mean the difference between safety and tragedy.
