Understanding Negligent Security Claims
Negligent security is the failure of a property owner to take reasonable steps to protect their visitors from foreseeable criminal activity on their property. Examples of negligent security include a lack of security guards, surveillance systems, and adequate lighting. It may also include unlocked exterior doors in businesses or apartment buildings, broken locks on doors or windows, not responding to emergencies quickly, and many other issues.
Property owners can be held liable for damages suffered by injury victims on their property when they fail to protect visitors from foreseeable criminal harm. Negligent security cases are a type of premises liability claim.
In Washington, you have three years to file an injury claim.
Compensation In A Seattle Negligent Security Claim
The compensation you may be able to recover depends on the specific facts of your case. Some damages you may be able to recover include:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Property damages
- Emotional distress
- Pain and suffering
At Seattle Injury Law, we help ensure that all your current and future damages are established and accurately valued. We will fight tirelessly to recover every dollar you deserve.
Proving Negligent Security Liability
As in other personal injury claims based on negligence, you must prove the existence of four elements to succeed in a negligent security claim:
- The defendant owed you a duty of care.
- The defendant breached their duty by negligent actions or inaction.
- The defendant’s negligent action or inaction caused your injuries.
- You suffered actual damages because of the defendant’s negligent action or inaction.
Property owners and businesses have a duty to take reasonable security measures to protect visitors or tenants. At Seattle Injury Law, we will investigate the facts of your case to help determine all contributing factors to your injuries and build your strongest case.
