Negligent Security Lawyer — Fight for Justice with The Super Lawyer – Greene Legal Group

If you or someone you love was injured or assaulted because a property owner failed to provide proper security, you are not alone — and you have rights. At The Super Lawyer – Greene Legal Group, our experienced negligent security lawyers are ready to hold property owners, landlords, and businesses accountable for putting your safety at risk. You deserve more than an apology. You deserve justice, compensation, and a team that will fight for you every step of the way.

What Is Negligent Security?

Negligent security is a legal claim under premises liability law. It occurs when a property owner or manager fails to take reasonable measures to protect guests, tenants, or customers from foreseeable criminal acts like assault, robbery, or worse. Property owners have a duty of care to provide a safe environment. When they ignore warnings, prior crimes, or obvious dangers, and someone gets hurt, they can be held legally responsible.

At The Super Lawyer – Greene Legal Group, our negligent security lawyers know how devastating these cases are. Victims are often left with serious injuries, emotional trauma, and financial burdens — all because someone else chose to cut corners on basic safety measures.

Common Examples of Negligent Security

Negligent security can happen almost anywhere, but it’s especially common in places like:

• Apartment complexes without working gates, locks, or security patrols

• Hotels and motels that fail to monitor entrances or vet guests

• Parking garages with broken lights or no surveillance cameras

• Bars, nightclubs, or restaurants with inadequate bouncer or crowd control staff

• Shopping malls or strip centers located in high-crime areas without any security presence

• College campuses or dorms with broken locks, unsecured buildings, or poor emergency planning

If you were attacked, mugged, sexually assaulted, or injured on someone else’s property, a negligent security lawyer from The Super Lawyer can help you understand if you have a case.

Common Crimes Caused by Negligent Security

When basic security measures are missing, serious and life-altering crimes can occur. Our negligent security lawyers represent victims of:

• Assault and battery

• Sexual assault and rape

• Armed robbery

• Kidnapping

• Homicide

• Home invasions

• Stalking and harassment

In every case, we focus not just on the crime itself, but on whether the property owner could have prevented it with reasonable care.

Who Can Be Held Responsible for Negligent Security?

Negligent security lawsuits often involve powerful businesses and landlords who failed in their basic duty. Potential defendants include:

• Apartment and residential property owners

• Hotel, motel, and resort chains

• Retail stores, shopping malls, and outlet centers

• Event venues, stadiums, and arenas

• Universities, colleges, and school districts

• Parking lot and parking garage operators

• Property management companies

• Third-party private security firms

At The Super Lawyer – Greene Legal Group, our negligent security lawyer team will investigate all parties that may have contributed to your harm and hold them accountable.

How Our Negligent Security Lawyers Build Your Case

At The Super Lawyer – Greene Legal Group, we understand that every negligent security case is personal — and every detail matters. These cases are not just about what happened in the moment, but about what should have been done to prevent it. Building a successful negligent security claim requires far more than just alleging that a property owner failed to protect you. It demands a strategic, evidence-driven, and legally sound approach designed to prove foreseeability, breach of duty, and causation.

That’s why our negligent security lawyers begin every case with one core goal: to uncover the full story and build a case strong enough to stand up to any insurance company, corporate defense team, or courtroom challenge. Here’s how we do it:

We Start with a Deep Dive into the Property’s Crime History

Establishing foreseeability is key in negligent security lawsuits. Our legal team pulls crime data from police departments, 911 call records, and public safety databases to determine if there were prior incidents — including assaults, break-ins, thefts, or violent crimes — on or near the property. If similar crimes occurred in the past and the property owner took no additional precautions, it’s powerful evidence of negligence.

We also review any incident reports filed by employees, tenants, or customers, exposing patterns of violence or threats that were ignored or downplayed by management.

We Secure and Analyze Surveillance Footage

If the crime was caught on security camera footage — or could have been if cameras were functioning — we immediately request access. Our team obtains:

• Interior and exterior security camera footage

• Dashcam or bodycam video from law enforcement (if applicable)

• Bystander cellphone recordings

• 911 call audio and dispatch logs

When video is missing, outdated, or of poor quality, it becomes evidence itself of negligent maintenance or inadequate security systems.

We Interview Witnesses, Staff, and Residents

Our investigative team conducts detailed interviews with eyewitnesses, neighbors, tenants, employees, maintenance workers, and security guards. These conversations often reveal the truth about longstanding safety issues — like broken locks, lights that hadn’t worked for weeks, or management’s refusal to add more security despite repeated requests.

These first-hand accounts can make or break a negligent security claim. We capture their stories early while memories are fresh and before pressure or outside influence distorts the truth.

We Examine Physical Evidence and Maintenance Records

Many security failures are physical — and traceable. We look for evidence of:

• Broken gates, doors, locks, or windows

• Malfunctioning alarm systems

• Burnt-out lights in stairwells or parking lots

• Unattended blind spots in buildings or hallways

• Absence of posted emergency numbers or call buttons

We subpoena or demand access to maintenance logs, inspection reports, vendor contracts, and internal emails. These documents often prove that property owners knew of dangerous conditions but failed to act — a clear breach of their legal duty.

We Work with Nationally Recognized Security Experts

In many negligent security cases, proving liability means explaining what should have been done based on industry best practices. We partner with certified security experts, former law enforcement officers, and premises safety consultants to provide authoritative testimony on topics such as:

• Standard security protocols for similar properties

• Adequate lighting and surveillance coverage

• Proper staffing of security personnel

• Crisis response readiness and incident reporting procedures

These experts help juries and insurance adjusters understand the reasonable steps a responsible property owner would have taken — and how those steps could have prevented your injury.

We Consult Forensic and Crime Scene Reconstruction Professionals

In cases involving severe injury, fatality, or disputed details, we work with forensic analysts and crime scene reconstruction experts to determine exactly what happened — and what failed. These professionals help:

• Analyze blood patterns, weapon trajectories, or points of entry

• Match the scene to existing security infrastructure

• Demonstrate how lack of barriers, cameras, or lighting enabled the attack

Their input can provide a compelling visual timeline and expert testimony that validates your claim beyond argument.

We Prove Causation — That Better Security Could Have Prevented the Attack

Ultimately, the law demands we prove that inadequate security measures directly contributed to your injury. This doesn’t mean the property owner had to know the exact crime would happen — it means they should have reasonably anticipated a risk and failed to act on it.

We use all of the evidence gathered to create a timeline that shows:

• The property owner’s awareness of criminal threats

• Their failure to implement or upgrade safety measures

• How your injury occurred as a result of those failures

• The economic and non-economic damages you’ve endured

This level of preparation isn’t optional — it’s essential. And it’s why The Super Lawyer – Greene Legal Group is trusted by victims across Georgia, South Carolina, Illinois, and beyond.

At every stage of the process, our negligent security lawyers are driven by one purpose: to get justice for people who were hurt because someone failed to care enough to prevent it.

If you were attacked, assaulted, or injured due to negligent security, don’t assume you’re powerless. Let The Super Lawyer – Greene Legal Group uncover the truth and fight for the compensation — and accountability — you deserve.

Damages We Fight to Recover for You

When your life is disrupted — or forever altered — by an act of violence that could have been prevented with proper security, you deserve more than sympathy. You deserve full and fair compensation for every way this injustice has affected your body, your mind, your family, and your future.

At The Super Lawyer – Greene Legal Group, our negligent security lawyers fight aggressively to secure every dollar you are legally entitled to, leaving nothing on the table. We believe negligent property owners must be held fully accountable — not just for what happened, but for every ripple effect that harm causes in your life.

Here are the primary types of damages we fight to recover for you:

Medical Expenses – Past, Present, and Future

Violent attacks can lead to catastrophic injuries that require immediate, ongoing, and even lifelong medical care. We pursue recovery for:

• Emergency transportation (ambulance fees)

• Emergency room evaluation and trauma care

• Surgical procedures for internal injuries, broken bones, or wounds

• Hospital stays and ICU admissions

• Prescription medications, including pain management and psychiatric drugs

• Physical therapy and rehabilitation services

• Assistive devices like wheelchairs, crutches, or prosthetics

• Long-term psychological counseling for PTSD, anxiety, or depression

• Future medical costs for continued treatment or therapy

Our negligent security lawyer team works closely with healthcare providers and life-care planners to calculate the true, future value of your medical needs — so you are protected not just today, but years down the line.

Lost Wages and Loss of Earning Capacity

If you’ve missed work because of the injuries you suffered during a preventable assault or attack, we fight to recover your lost wages — including unpaid time off, sick leave depletion, and any loss of bonuses or promotions.

For clients whose injuries are permanent or disabling, we also pursue damages for loss of earning capacity. If you are unable to return to the same job, must change careers, or face early retirement due to physical or psychological limitations, you deserve compensation for future financial losses.

Our negligent security lawyers bring in vocational experts and economists when needed to build strong, evidence-based demands for every penny you are owed.

Pain and Suffering

The physical agony of injuries from an assault is often just the beginning. Victims of negligent security incidents frequently endure:

• Chronic pain from fractures, nerve damage, or soft tissue injuries

• Emotional trauma, including PTSD, anxiety attacks, and phobias

• Insomnia and nightmares related to the assault

• Feelings of humiliation, fear, helplessness, and shame

• Depression stemming from physical limitations or disfigurement

Pain and suffering damages recognize the deep, invisible scars that criminal violence leaves behind. At The Super Lawyer – Greene Legal Group, we fight to quantify and demand proper compensation for all the mental, emotional, and physical suffering our clients experience — not just the financial costs.

Punitive Damages – Punishing Reckless Negligence

In cases where a property owner or manager exhibited gross negligence — meaning a reckless disregard for obvious risks to human life — we pursue punitive damages. Unlike compensatory damages, which are meant to reimburse victims, punitive damages are designed to punish wrongdoers and deter others from making the same dangerous mistakes.

Examples where punitive damages may apply include:

• Apartment complexes with known gang violence failing to hire security

• Hotels ignoring a string of assaults in their parking garage without improving lighting

• Nightclubs operating without any trained security despite violent incidents

Punitive damages can significantly increase your final award — and they send a loud message that neglecting public safety is never acceptable.

Loss of Enjoyment of Life

When you survive a traumatic attack due to negligent security, you don’t just lose money — you may lose the ability to live the life you once loved.

You might no longer feel safe going to public places. You may have to give up favorite activities like jogging, traveling, attending social events, or playing with your children because of physical pain or emotional fear. You may even experience relationship strain due to emotional withdrawal, depression, or PTSD.

Our negligent security lawyers seek damages for loss of enjoyment of life — because your happiness, freedom, and quality of life matter.

Other Possible Recoverable Damages

Depending on your unique situation, you may also be entitled to:

• Wrongful death damages if a loved one died due to negligent security

• Loss of consortium for spouses impacted by emotional, physical, and relational changes

• Out-of-pocket expenses, such as transportation to medical appointments, home modifications, or security measures you were forced to install yourself

At The Super Lawyer – Greene Legal Group, we analyze every angle of your losses to ensure that no form of harm goes unaccounted for.

The Super Lawyer Promise: We Never Settle for Less Than You Deserve

Frequently Asked Questions About Negligent Security Claims

What qualifies as a negligent security lawsuit?

A negligent security lawsuit arises when a property owner fails to provide reasonable safety measures, resulting in someone being attacked, assaulted, robbed, or otherwise harmed on their property. Common examples include poor lighting, broken locks, lack of security cameras, or failing to hire security guards in areas known for criminal activity. If you were injured because a property owner ignored obvious risks, a negligent security lawyer can help you file a claim and fight for compensation.

How do I prove that negligent security caused my injury?

To prove negligent security caused your injury, you must show that the property owner knew or should have known about potential dangers and failed to take reasonable steps to prevent them. Evidence can include prior criminal activity at the location, missing or broken security features, witness testimony, and expert analysis. A negligent security lawyer will gather the necessary evidence and build a strong case to demonstrate that better security would have likely prevented the harm you suffered.

Can I sue if I was attacked in a parking lot or apartment complex?

Yes, you can sue if you were attacked in a parking lot, apartment complex, hotel, shopping mall, or any other property open to the public or guests. Property owners have a legal duty to implement reasonable security measures based on the nature of their premises and any known risks. If they failed to do so and you were injured as a result, a negligent security lawyer can help you pursue damages through a premises liability claim.

What damages can I recover in a negligent security lawsuit?

In a negligent security lawsuit, you can recover damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional trauma, future medical care, and in some cases, punitive damages. Each case is different, but the goal is to make you financially whole and compensate for all the harm caused by the property owner’s negligence. A negligent security lawyer will calculate the full extent of your losses and fight for maximum recovery.

How long do I have to file a negligent security claim?

The time limit to file a negligent security claim, known as the statute of limitations, usually ranges from one to three years depending on the state where the incident occurred. If you miss the deadline, you could lose your right to seek compensation forever. That’s why it is critical to contact a negligent security lawyer as soon as possible after the incident to preserve your rights and start building a case.

What if the attacker was never caught or arrested?

You can still file a negligent security lawsuit against a property owner even if the person who attacked you was never caught or arrested. The legal focus in a negligent security claim is not on the criminal, but on the property owner’s failure to provide adequate protection. A skilled negligent security lawyer can hold the property owner accountable for creating or allowing dangerous conditions that led to your injuries.

Do I need a negligent security lawyer to file a claim?

While you are not legally required to hire a negligent security lawyer, having one is highly recommended. Proving negligent security requires detailed investigation, expert testimony, and legal strategy to stand up to property owners and insurance companies. A knowledgeable lawyer will handle the complex legal work, gather critical evidence, and negotiate aggressively on your behalf to ensure you are treated fairly and compensated properly.
