Who May Be Eligible to File a Negligent Security Case?

To determine whether you may be eligible to pursue legal action, our legal team needs to review the circumstances that caused your injuries. Typically, negligent security cases are filed by victims of some type of crime who had a legal right to be on a commercial or private property. These victims could be:

If a trespasser was injured on private or business property, it is unlikely he or she would have a claim.

In these cases, the burden of proof is on the plaintiff, so in order to establish that a property owner was negligent, there are certain elements you or your attorney need to prove:

Duty of Care

You must prove that you had a legal right to be on the property and the owner had a legal obligation to maintain his or her property, including providing adequate security, to prevent harm to anyone legally permitted on the premises.

Duty of Care Not Upheld

What is deemed necessary to maintain safe premises can vary depending on the property and the location. For example, in an unsafe area, a property owner might have failed in his or her duty of care if there was no physical security on the property or the lighting was not sufficient to ward off would-be trespassers or criminals.

Causal Link

Proving the connection between the failure to uphold a duty of care and the injuries you sustained is key. For example, if the owner had employed a security guard, you might not have suffered an assault by a criminal who trespassed on the property.

Damages

You must have been injured and suffered damages as a result of the property owner’s negligence. For example, if you were attacked in a hotel parking lot, your damages could help cover your medical bills, lost wages and more.

Our experienced Prescott negligent security attorneys have been pursuing compensation for injury victims for almost 30 years, and we know what it takes to build a strong argument on your behalf. We are prepared to review the circumstances that caused your injuries and determine if you may have a case.

How Much Compensation Could I Receive?

The value of each case is unique so the compensation amount you could be eligible to receive will depend on the extent of your injuries, how much time you may have missed from work due to your injuries, and whether you are able to return to your previous job after your recovery time, among other factors.

What is Negligent Security?

A property owner has a legal obligation to take active steps to help ensure the premises are reasonably safe for any customers or other legal invitees who enter the property. An important part of ensuring there is adequate security includes taking into consideration where the property is located, how well lit the area is and more. Some steps that an owner can take to maintain adequate security might include:

If a property owner fails in this duty and a customer or other legal invitee is injured, the owner could be held liable for negligent security.

Why Should I Consider Hiring a Lawyer?

After an incident, you should expect the insurance company to reach out to ask about what happened. It is important to note that no matter how friendly an insurer may sound on the phone, his or her ultimate goal is not to give you money, because it is not in the best interest of the insurance company. An insurer will always try to find ways to discredit you by saying that your injuries are non-existent or not as severe as you claim, or by trying to offer you a lowball settlement to avoid a larger payout.

Our experienced Prescott negligent security lawyers consider multiple factors when determining the value of a potential claim. For example, we may investigate the general safety of the location, the premises where you were injured, and what other security deficiencies may exist on the property. If there is any camera footage, we would also want to review that for potential evidence.

If we represent you, we will fight tirelessly on your behalf to achieve maximum recovery for your damages and are prepared to go to trial if necessary.
