Some examples of negligent security practices that could give rise to a personal injury case include:

Lack of Security Personnel

Bars, nightclubs, and entertainment venues must be adequately staffed with security personnel. These workers are responsible for barring entrance to intoxicated guests, removing unsafe people from the premises, and calling law enforcement officials if an incident occurs.

Compromised Lock Systems

You may have been assaulted by an intruder who unlawfully entered the premises. This may have been the result of broken doors, locks, and windows. All property owners have a duty of care to regularly monitor and maintain their properties. Otherwise, they can be held financially accountable for their inactions.

Non-Functioning Alarm Systems or Security Cameras

Alarm systems and security cameras are meant to deter perpetrators from harming others. If it is obvious that an alarm system is not functioning properly or security cameras are not in place, this could encourage intruders with bad intentions.

The Failure to Address Prior Criminal Activity or other Dangerous Behavior

In some instances, a premises has a history of assaults or other dangerous activities. When a property owner, manager, or tenant fails to address these conditions or take reasonable measures to make the premises safer, they may be held to have acted negligently in subsequent cases of assault or physical harm.
