Responsibility for safety extends to securing the premises of the building, grounds, and parking lots. Proper security personnel and equipment are needed in order to ensure customer and guest safety, such as the use of security guards, adequate lighting, security cameras, security fences, proper locks, and other measures. The property owner must also take responsibility for any employees or contractors who provide security.

Negligent security often occurs when security measures fail and someone is injured on the property due to the actions of a third party. Negligent security attorneys know how to seek compensation for you if you have been the victim of inadequate security when your safety should have been assured. Unscrupulous people often take advantage of lax security. As a result, you may have been the victim of battery, sexual assault, robbery or other crime that resulted in injury. Excessive force by the property owner’s own security personnel may also be responsible for your injuries. The most common types of negligent security claims occur under the following circumstances:

• inadequate surveillance of the property
• inadequate security personnel: too few or poorly trained security guards for the property or event
• malfunctioning security equipment: broken cameras or security fence in disrepair
• faulty or inadequate alarm systems
• poor lighting
• excessive force used by security personnel

Many injuries are caused to customers and guests because the property owner fails to hire qualified security personnel or a sufficient number of security officers to control a crowd. People are often assaulted at bars and night clubs, or are assaulted or trampled by other fans at concerts, car races, or other sporting events.

In some cases, injury is caused by the actions of security personnel themselves. Bouncers and other security guards may use excessive force in removing guests or attempting to control large crowds, resulting in injury. If a security guard has a record of past physical violence the property owner may be liable for negligent hiring.

If you or a loved one has been assaulted or injured by another (including a security guard) on someone else’s property, you may have a legal claim if the property owner failed to provide adequate security for your protection.
