Security Negligence

The Law Offices of David D. Diamond

Anytime owners of malls, shopping centers or retail stores provide inadequate security or fail to provide any type of security, they may be accused of security negligence. According to the law, business owners and proprietors are responsible for protecting the health and general safety of their customers and they must implement normal security measures. Security measures must be in place to protect customers from crime or criminal activities that may take place on store owners’ property. Appropriate security measures include, but are not limited to:

having surveillance cameras in stores
having surveillance cameras monitoring store parking lots
having a security officer onsite
having appropriate lighting in and outside of the store
having locks on gates and store doors
having protection around the perimeter of the store’s property

If store owners do not implement ordinary security measures and their customers become victims of crime or sustain injuries due to the lack of security, store owners may be held liable if victims choose to take legal action.

Hiring a Security Negligence Attorney

After people have been victims of crime while visiting a mall, shopping center or retail store, they should review their legal options with an experienced premises liability lawyer that handles security negligence cases. Victims may be allowed to collect compensation from irresponsible store owners if they can prove that store owners are guilty of security negligence. Successful security negligence lawsuits can lead to victims recovering damages for their traumatic experiences, injuries, medical costs and pain and suffering.
