Failure to provide a safe location could put lives on the line. As a property owner, especially of a commercial establishment, it is critical to fully understand the risks that those using the property may experience and then do everything possible to minimize those risks. When this does not happen, our crime victims and negligent security attorneys will work with victims to get compensation.

What is Negligent Security?
Negligent security refers to the legal responsibility a property owner has to ensure their property is safe from the types of criminal activities that could occur. There is no way a property owner can eliminate all risks, but if there is evidence that a risk could occur and the owner does not do enough to prevent loss, they could be held responsible.
Crime victims and negligent security attorneys at our firm can help you if you are the victim of a Hampton crime. Some examples of negligent security-related incidents may include assaults or other violent crimes that happen at:
- Government buildings
- Apartment complexes
- Nightclubs and other entertainment locations
- Shopping malls and retail centers
- Office buildings
- Schools
They may occur when any type of violent event occurs, which may include muggings, sexual assault, physical assault, or stabbings. It may also occur when a person is robbed or when an injury occurs due to the presence of alcohol or drugs.
There are many examples of when this may occur, such as a criminal getting into an apartment complex because the owner of the building failed to keep the automatic door locks operational. In other cases, a nightclub owner may be able to expect that violence could break out. If they fail to provide security, that could be seen as negligent security when a fight occurs, causing injury to others.
