Negligent Security Lawyers
Property owners have a responsibility to provide reasonable security. When assaults, robberies, or other crimes occur because that responsibility wasn’t met, Gillani Law helps victims pursue the recovery they deserve.
Quick Answers After A Negligent Security Incident
What This Practice Area Covers
A Negligent Security Claim Is About Reasonable Protection
Property owners have a duty to take reasonable steps to protect visitors from foreseeable harm. When safety measures are inadequate and someone is injured as a result of criminal activity, the property owner may be held responsible.
If poor lighting, broken locks, lack of security personnel, or ignored prior incidents contributed to your injury, you may be entitled to compensation.
At Gillani Law, we represent victims when liability is disputed or insurers attempt to shift blame away from unsafe property conditions.
Common Negligent Security Cases We Handle
- Assaults in apartment complexes
- Robberies in parking garages
- Incidents at hotels or motels
- Injuries at shopping centers
- Crimes in poorly lit areas
- Attacks in nightclubs or entertainment venues
- Security failures at office buildings
- Broken lock or access control failures
These cases often require investigation into prior incidents and property management practices.
You May Still Have a Case Even If…
- The crime was committed by a third party
- The property owner claims the incident was unforeseeable
- No security guard was present
- You were unfamiliar with the property
- The insurance company denies responsibility
- You are unsure what safety measures should have been in place
Negligent security claims focus on whether reasonable steps were taken to reduce foreseeable risk.
What To Do After A Negligent Security Incident
Call 911
Report the incident immediately and request medical attention if needed. An official report documents what occurred.
Seek Medical Care
Even if injuries seem minor, get evaluated promptly. Emotional trauma and internal injuries may not be immediately obvious.
Document the Scene
If possible, take photos of lighting conditions, broken locks, surveillance cameras, or other relevant safety features.
Contact an Attorney Before Speaking with Insurers
Insurance companies may attempt to limit liability. Speaking with Gillani Law can help protect your rights.
