What is Negligent Security?

Negligent security is a type of legal claim that addresses the lack of security on the property. This occurs when the landowner fails to secure the property in a safe condition. For example, the more likely the properties located in a dangerous area, the more likely the land will need stricter security.  If the landowner fails to get security on the land and guests are injured, guests have a claim against the land owner for negligent security. The owner of the property could be liable for the victim’s damages.

Are Negligent Security Claims Common?

Negligent security claims are very common, especially in California and Nevada.

Negligent security claims allow the owner to make changes to their property and ensure the property is safe to prevent any future negligence security incidents.

What Should I do After Being Injured Due to a Negligent Security Incident?

The first step after getting injured in a negligent security incident is to contact your healthcare provider to determine the type of damages and injuries you have suffered. For example, many head injuries do not come into play until days, or weeks later. After seeking medical advice, contact our negligent security attorneys  to determine the different types of damages you could potentially recover. It is advised to hire an attorney before getting into contact with the defendant or the insurance company. After the incident, these parties will try to downplay their liability and offer low settlement amounts.

How Can I File a Claim for Negligent Security?

Immediately after getting injured on another person’s property, you should seek a negligent security attorney. It is important that you hire an attorney immediately since many states have a statute of limitations that limit and restrict the amount of time you could bring in a claim against another party. For example, if you bring in a claim against the other party after the statute of limitations has run, your claim will be dismissed.

Are Negligent Security Claims Only for Public Property?

Negligent security claims assert that the landowner failed to maintain the premises in a safe condition. Therefore, negligent security claims could take place on both private and public property. The property does not have to be public in order for you to be able to bring a negligent security claim.

But, it is important to note that different rules apply regarding the different types of property. For example, if the injury took place on a government-owned property, then a different statute of limitations applies since you will be filing a lawsuit against a government entity. Because there are different types of categories and different  legal claims that need to be made, contact our experienced negligent security attorneys today to determine the different legal options we can take.

What Do Our Experienced Negligent Security Attorneys Do?

Our experienced negligent security attorneys get to work immediately after a client consultation. We try to gather as much information as possible to build a stronger claim against the other party. We visit the place where the incident occurred, and try to take photos, criminal records, police reports, and records of witnesses.  The stronger the evidence, the more likely you  will be able to get compensation for your injuries. Our attorneys then work to calculate your compensation and the future expenses that arise from these negligent security incidents. We will negotiate with the defendant and insurance company to get a settlement offer that could cover your damages.
