Although business proprietors are generally not considered responsible for crimes that occur on their premises when they were not involved, there may be cases where a pattern of crimes occurring may be indicative of an issue of inadequate security. In some cases, the law may require that businesses implement stronger security measures if their property is found to be susceptible to crime or is deemed potentially unsafe for workers, tenants, or others with access to the property. Steps that can be taken to improve the safety of a property may include the addition of more lighting, door locks or security chains, security cameras and security guards.

Some business proprietors do not want to invest in measures that may make their place of business safer for others due to the high cost. If an individual sustains a serious injury as a result of negligent security a business owner or property operator may be liable for resulting damages an injured victim may incur.

Negligent security cases can be extremely complex and difficult to prove. Premises liability attorneys can help injured victims in these cases by ensuring that a proper investigation is conducted to determine who is legally responsible for damages they’ve incurred as a result of their injury. Negligent security claims can result from various types of incidents and speaking with an experienced premises liability lawyer can help one understand the merits of their case and whether compensation is warranted in accordance with the law.
