Negligent security — when a property owner, business owner, homeowners association, or property manager fails to implement sufficient security measures, resulting in harm or injury to individuals on the premises — is one of the fastest-growing claim trends today.
Inadequate safety measures can lead to an unfortunate incident at a property, which creates significant risk for business owners. In many areas, businesses are required to provide security that addresses foreseeable risks. If a lawsuit is filed, a jury will determine if the security measures were reasonable. If found lacking, the business may be held responsible for damage caused by those insufficient measures.
