Negligent security occurs when a property owner, business, or landlord fails to take reasonable measures to protect visitors from foreseeable harm. These cases often involve violent crimes, such as assaults or robberies, that could have been prevented with proper safety precautions. Property owners are responsible for maintaining secure premises by installing adequate lighting, functioning locks, security cameras, and trained personnel. At The DP Law Firm, we investigate every detail to hold negligent property owners accountable and pursue compensation for victims who suffer injuries, trauma, and financial losses due to preventable security failures.
Inadequate Lighting
Poorly lit areas can become breeding grounds for crime. Parking lots, stairwells, walkways, and building entrances should be well-lit to discourage criminal activity and ensure visibility. When a lack of lighting contributes to an assault, robbery, or other violent incident, it may constitute negligent security. The DP Law Firm works to prove that the property owner or manager failed to provide proper illumination and to hold them responsible for injuries or damages that occurred as a result of unsafe conditions.
Broken Locks & Failed Security
Locks, gates, and alarm systems are essential for deterring crime and ensuring safety. When these protections are broken, malfunctioning, or ignored, property owners may be liable for crimes committed on their premises. Whether it’s an apartment complex, hotel, or commercial building, failing to repair or maintain security systems can expose tenants and guests to serious harm. The DP Law Firm investigates whether these systems were properly maintained and fights to recover compensation for victims affected by these preventable lapses in safety.
Apartment & Hotel Claims
Guests and tenants have a right to expect a secure environment where they live or stay. Hotels and apartment owners must provide adequate locks, monitored entryways, and security personnel when appropriate. When management fails to take these precautions and someone is injured as a result of a break-in, assault, or theft, the property owner can be held responsible. The DP Law Firm represents individuals harmed by negligent management, unsafe premises, and lack of proper security measures in residential and hospitality settings.
Assaults on Business Property
Businesses have a duty to provide safe environments for both customers and employees. When companies fail to implement basic safety measures such as functioning surveillance cameras, controlled access points, or security patrols, they may be liable for assaults or other crimes that occur on their property. The DP Law Firm helps victims of workplace or customer-area assaults investigate the business’s negligence and pursue claims for medical expenses, emotional distress, and other losses caused by unsafe conditions.
Public Venue Incidents
Concerts, sports arenas, shopping centers, and other public spaces must have appropriate security to protect attendees. When event organizers or venue owners ignore known safety concerns, fail to control crowds, or do not provide adequate lighting and surveillance, preventable injuries and assaults can occur. The DP Law Firm works to hold negligent venue operators accountable, ensuring that victims of these incidents receive justice and fair compensation for their suffering.
