Certain properties have security measures in place to protect the people who live, shop, or otherwise visit the premises. Negligent security can lead to serious accidents and incidents that can leave you catastrophically injured.
The premises liability attorneys at Whetstone Perkins & Fulda know how to determine if negligent security was a factor in your injury. Our lawyers are passionate about providing our clients with our decades of experience and individualized legal services.
How Negligent Security Can Lead to Injuries
Our attorneys in Columbia, SC have seen negligent security cases manifest in many ways, including:
- Inadequate security lighting
- Defective or broken locks
- Defective or broken alarm systems
- Negligent security guards
These types of things can lead to assault, battery, and other crimes involving your safety. In some cases, certain levels of security are required by law. For other types of properties, the owners, leaders, or managers are responsible for keeping the premises reasonably safe.
Common Types of Properties in a Negligent Security Case
Negligent security cases can originate from accidents on many types of premises and properties, such as:
- Apartments
- Hotels
- Parking lots
- Big box stores
- Shopping malls
- Sports arenas
- Public parks
- ATMs
In a negligent security case, our lawyers will put all of our experience and resources to work in demonstrating how the inadequate security measures led to your injuries. We will fight to recover compensation for current and future medical expenses, lost income, diminished enjoyment of life, and pain and suffering.
One challenge in these types of premises liability cases is proving that the at-fault party is, in fact, liable for injuries caused by negligent security. When you get into cases involving owners, managers, and people leasing the property, the attorney handling the case must understand who is liable for what, and on what types of properties. Your relationship to the property and what you were doing there also must be taken into account. The Columbia attorneys at Whetstone Perkins & Fulda know the ins and outs of negligent security cases. We provide individualized attention when you choose us to handle your negligent security claim.
