When Poor Security Leads To Injuries And Deaths

Property owners have a responsibility for the safety of everyone on their property. Inadequate or negligent security on the part of a property owner may be the reason you or a family member sustained injuries during a crime on their premises. If you or a loved one was hurt, you may be able to recover compensation for your injuries from the property owner.

To understand your rights and have your case evaluated by an experienced premises liability attorney, talk to Mark L. Karno & Associates, LLC We have decades of experience obtaining compensation for injured people and their families.

The Impact Of Negligent Security

Violent crimes against patrons or passersby can result in debilitating and life-threatening injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries, that require extensive medical treatment, lost wages and lost work opportunities along with emotional trauma.

Although security is not required on commercial property, many property owners will hire security personnel to patrol the area. This gives patrons or residents a presumption of safety on the premises. However, when security personnel are inexperienced and ineffective at keeping people safe, the property owner can be liable for injuries that result from:

  • Rapes
  • Assaults
  • Thefts
  • Shootings
  • Other crimes
