Do I Have a Case for Negligent Security?

Negligent security means the property owner failed to take reasonable steps to provide security for the premises. The definition of reasonable steps depends on many factors, such as the location of the property and recent crimes in the area.

Reasonable Security

Common examples of reasonable steps to ensure a property is safe may include:

Where Negligent Security Cases Often Arise

When property owners do not take reasonable steps, visitors could suffer injuries from criminal activity on the premises. This could happen in many different locations:

Victims of crimes could also be vendors making deliveries or attempting to sell a product to the property owner.

Proving Negligence

However, you must do more than prove there was a lack of security. Your lawyer must also prove the property owner was negligent. There are four parts of negligence:

• Duty of care was owed to you ”“ The property owner was legally required to provide adequate security so the place would be reasonably safe for visitors. However, the victim must have been legally permitted to be on the premises. Trespassers generally cannot file a negligent security claim.
• Duty of care was breached ”“ The property owner did not act to uphold his or her legal obligation to maintain a safe property.
• Causation ”“ There must be a direct connection between the failure to uphold the duty of care and the injuries suffered by the victim. For example, if you were assaulted in a poorly-lit area, you would need to show the attack would have been much less likely to occur with better lighting.
• Damages were suffered ”“ You need to provide evidence of damages caused by your injuries, such as medical expenses for current and future treatment, pain and suffering, lost wages, or other damages.

What is a Negligent Security Case Worth?

This is difficult to answer without reviewing the specifics of your claim. The more severe the injury, the more the claim is likely to be worth. This is often because a severe injury requires ongoing treatment after the claim has been settled or a lawsuit has resulted in a verdict.

There are a variety of damages victims may suffer because of negligent security, besides just medical expenses. There may be physical pain and suffering, along with lost wages from missed time at work. In some cases, injuries are so severe the victim must work in a different capacity because of a permanent disability.

This is a complex issue you can discuss with the licensed attorneys at Phillips Law Group.

Deadline for Filing a Claim

Generally, injury victims in Arizona must file a claim within two years of the date of the injury, otherwise it will be barred by state law. If you file a claim, it will likely be dismissed in court.

There are exceptions to this deadline. For example, if you were injured on government property, you have just 180 days to provide notice of claim to the party you are filing against. Minors have two years from their 18th birthday to file a claim.

It is important to act quickly because the clock could already be running. The consultation with the Lake Havasu City negligent security lawyers at Phillips Law Group is free of charge.

I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group.

My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...
