See a doctor todayInjuries can show up days later. If there's a gap in treatment, the insurer will use it against you. No insurance? We'll get you seen.
2
Don't give a recorded statementYou don't have to. Adjusters are trained to get you to say things that lower your claim. Say: "My lawyer will call you."
3
Document the spotPhotograph the place you fell and your shoes. Report it to the manager and get a copy. Write down the names of witnesses.
4
Don't sign anything. Call us.Early release forms and medical authorizations are written to limit what they owe you. A ten-minute call costs nothing and tells you where you stand.

Premises liability questions we get every day

Straight answers. No fine print.

Is the property owner responsible for my injury?
Owners must keep their property reasonably safe. They are usually responsible when they knew, or should have found, a dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn people. We look at inspections, maintenance records and video.
What if I was partly at fault?
You can still have a case. In most states your recovery is reduced by your share of the blame, not wiped out. The insurer will try to put more blame on you than the facts support. That's our fight, not yours.
How much do you charge?
Nothing up front. We only get paid if you do. Our fee is a percentage of the money we get for you. You see it and sign it before we start. If we don't win, you owe nothing, not even case costs.

More about injuries caused by negligent security

Read the full guide

There are many situations in which negligent security results in injury or death. One of the most common is in parking lots: of apartments, shopping centers, or stadiums. Many people contact negligent security lawyers after nightclub injuries, either due to a lack of security or the club management’s lack of training and policies to actively prevent serious injury or death to customers.

What Negligent Security Lawyers Can Do for You

To prevail in a lawsuit against an entity for negligent security, it is necessary to prove that the entity responsible for the safety of tenants or patrons did not properly maintain the premises in a way that deterred criminals from assaulting or robbing them. Generally, that means proving previous tenants/customers had been assaulted, robbed, kidnapped, etc., due to negligent security. However, where the apartment building or shopping center is in a high crime area, this may not be necessary to prove.

Defining Adequate Security

Adequate security does not necessarily mean having a guard on duty 24/7. However, it does require the property owner or manager to provide adequate lighting and other devices, such as surveillance cameras, to deter potential criminals from assaulting, robbing, or kidnapping a tenant or shopper.

Stadium Injuries

Another example of the duty to provide adequate security is the sports stadiums where football, baseball, ice hockey, and other sports are played. If a person goes to a game wearing the opposing team's jersey, hometown fans may become inebriated and assault the other team's fan. If stadium security personnel do not act swiftly to quell a potentially violent situation and protect the fan, the stadium owners may be liable for the injuries.

Negligent Security Lawyers Can Protect Your Rights

If you have been seriously injured or a loved one was killed due to the negligent security of an apartment building, shopping center, sports stadium, or other venue, contact an experienced personal injury attorney to receive maximum compensation from the defendant who failed to provide adequate security.
