What is negligent security?

Negligent security refers to a property owner's failure to provide reasonable safety measures, which then allows a foreseeable crime or injury to occur. This can apply to apartment complexes, parking garages, hotels, retail stores, and other properties open to the public. Common examples include:

  • Broken locks, gates, or entry systems that weren't repaired
  • Insufficient lighting in parking lots or stairwells
  • Lack of security cameras or non-functioning cameras
  • No security personnel in areas with a known history of crime
  • Ignoring prior complaints about suspicious activity

If a property owner knew, or reasonably should have known, about a safety risk and did nothing to address it, they may share responsibility when someone is harmed as a result. These cases often require investigation into the property's crime history and prior complaints.
