Where These Cases Happen Most

Negligent security injuries commonly happen in or around:
  • Apartment complexes
  • Hotels and motels
  • Gas stations
  • Nightclubs, bars, and restaurants
  • Grocery stores and strip malls
  • Office buildings and parking garages
  • College campuses and dorms
  • Concerts, festivals, and special events

Whether it was a shooting, stabbing, mugging, assault, or rape, we help you hold the right people accountable for not doing enough to prevent it.

What Is a Negligent Security Case?

Negligent security is a form of premises liability. It applies when someone is injured due to:
  • Inadequate or broken locks
  • Lack of security guards or patrols
  • Poor or no lighting in stairwells or parking lots
  • No security cameras or non-functioning systems
  • Uncontrolled access to buildings or rooms
  • History of crime on the property that was ignored

If a property knew or should have known about safety risks and failed to act — and you were harmed — you may have a powerful legal case.

Who Can Be Held Responsible?

In many cases, it’s not just the attacker who is liable — but the property owner, management company, or security contractor who failed to maintain a safe environment.

  • Our investigation often includes:
  • Reviewing police reports, 911 calls, or crime logs
  • Checking prior complaints or incidents on-site
  • Analyzing security policies, staffing, and training
  • Comparing practices to local safety ordinances

You focus on healing. We focus on proving fault.

You didn’t choose to be a victim — but you can choose to take action. We’ll walk you through the process and fight until your voice is heard and justice is served.

We pursue full compensation for:
  • Emergency care, surgeries, or hospitalization
  • Mental health treatment for PTSD or trauma
  • Lost wages or lost earning potential
  • Pain and suffering
  • Long-term disability or disfigurement
  • In cases of fatal injuries, wrongful death damages

Every case is different — but our mission is the same: win what you’re owed.
