Negligent Security: Seeking Justice for Victims of Unsafe Premises

Property owners and businesses have a duty to provide a safe environment for visitors. When security is insufficient, individuals may become victims of violent crimes such as assault, robbery, or worse. JD Law Group is committed to representing victims of inadequate security and ensuring property owners are held accountable.

What Constitutes Inadequate Security?

A premises liability claim for inadequate security may arise when:

• Lack of Security Personnel – Insufficient or absent security guards in high-risk areas.
• Poor Lighting – Dark parking lots, hallways, or stairwells that create dangerous environments.
• Broken or Nonexistent Surveillance Cameras – Lack of monitoring systems that could deter criminals.
• Failure to Conduct Background Checks – Employers hiring individuals with violent histories.
• Lack of Controlled Access – Open access to buildings, hotels, or apartments without safety measures.

Legal Consequences of Inadequate Security

When security lapses lead to harm, property owners may be held liable for:

• Medical Expenses – Coverage for emergency care, surgeries, and rehabilitation.
• Lost Wages – Compensation for time missed at work due to injuries.
