Negligence Lawyers, Negligence Attorneys - Garden City, New York

Negligent security arises when an individual is injured or killed because of carelessness or neglect on the part of property owners and businesses. Such cases may include rape and assaults in parking lots, apartment buildings, hotels, stores, and other businesses. People have a right to personal safety while they are on someone else’s business property. Businesses have a duty to provide reasonably safe environments for their clients and customers. If property owners do not conform to this duty, they may be liable for injuries to people on their property.

Negligent security cases generally involve an injury to an individual as a result of an injury on a third party's premises. These frequently occur at malls, apartments, shopping centers, hotels, residential buildings, motels, office buildings, schools or parking garages. Although the general common law principle is that there is no duty to protect against harm caused by the criminal act of a third party, an exception is that a duty is imposed to take reasonable measures where such criminal acts are foreseeable. Thus whether or not there is liability for negligence in a negligent security case turns on the issue of whether the negligent acts were foreseeable.

Generally, there are five types of negligent security cases:

1. Inadequate security
2. Inadequate lighting
3. Inadequate security mechanisms, procedures, facility design
4. Inadequate key control (hotels/motels/apartments)
5. Inadequate supervision (children, incompetents)

If you or someone you know suspect negligence security, you may be entitled to monetary compensation. Please click here to fill out a brief online form to receive a free evaluation of your claim by lawyers with a total of over 60 years of personal injury experience.
