Injuries Caused by Faulty Security

Good security standards and practices should be enforced in all public places and also in apartment buildings and other spaces.

A party can be accused of negligent security when he or she fails to observe the adequate norms for premises safety.

Premises Injuries

Apart from the more common slip and fall accidents, premises injuries can also include theft, assault, battery and any other violent acts.

Victims who have suffered physical injuries after being assaulted in an unsafe place may claim compensation for their injuries and also for the property losses.

Victims Hurt in Unsafe Premises

Property owners need to comply with several specific measures for ensuring the safety of their clients or visitors. Shopping malls, buildings or recreational locations need to have functional standardized security systems in place.

Negligent security cases can arise when the property owners fail to comply with these standards and individuals are victims of theft and other criminal acts.

5

Making a Negligent Security Claim

A negligent security claim must be made against the owner or owners of the premises where the accident took place.

A personal injury lawyer can help you make this claim against a landlord, building manager, owner or the individual who should have secured the premises where the accident happened.

Proving the Premises Accident

Evidence from the scene of the accident can be used to make the negligent security claim.

Videos or photographs of the premises and even eyewitness reports can be used to show that the condition of the location was inappropriate and/or dangerous at the time of the accident.

Proving Negligence

Proving negligence is the most important aspect of a security claim. The individual must be able to prove that person in charge of safety failed to prevent the danger or treated a known issue in a negligent manner.

The case will be based on showing how the defendant had a duty of care towards the plaintiff and failed to observe this duty.

8

The Importance of Foreseeability

Foreseeability is important when proving that the owner of the premises failed to discover or pay attention to what could have caused the accident.

A Los Angeles personal injury attorney can help the plaintiff find out if there were any similar cases that should have made the landlord more attentive to the needs of the individuals passing through the property.

Damages Awarded to Victims

Victims who were hurt on someone else’s premises because of faulty security can claim compensation for the medical expenses associated with treating the injuries.

In cases that involve criminal acts, the victim may also claim compensation for having to suffer because of a traumatic event.
