A Property Owner’s Duty Of Care
Business and commercial property owners must maintain safe premises for invited guests/customers. This includes being safe from any criminal activity in the area. Under the concept of foreseeability, if the owner knew or should have known about the danger and did nothing to prevent it from happening on their property, they can be liable when invited customers or guests are harmed.
What Is Negligent Security?
Failure to maintain adequate security can lead to serious injuries or wrongful death. I represent people who were injured by:
- Poor lighting
- Lack of working security cameras and systems
- Gates or doors without working locks
- Windows that are broken or don’t have locks
- Lower level windows without security bars
- No security guards
If these failures result in harm to invited guests, commercial property owners may be held responsible for injuries and deaths if they knew or should have known about criminal activity at or near their property.
Common Types Of High-Risk Commercial Property
People may be at risk for injury at these types of locations:
- Parking lots and parking ramps
- Apartments
- Hotels and motels
- Gas stations and convenience stores
- Shopping malls
- Bars and nightclubs
Additionally, property near abandoned buildings or warehouses may be dangerous.
