Why Negligent Security Cases Matter

Property owners in Henderson have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe for visitors and guests. This includes providing adequate security measures to prevent foreseeable crimes such as assaults, robberies, or attacks. When they fail to do so and someone is injured as a result, the property owner may be held responsible under negligent security laws.

At Cogburn Davidson, we help victims of negligent security recover the compensation they deserve for their physical, emotional, and financial losses.

What Is Negligent Security?

Negligent security occurs when a property owner or manager fails to implement reasonable precautions to protect people on their property from criminal acts. Examples of negligent security include:

  • Lack of security personnel or patrols
  • Broken or missing locks and gates
  • Inadequate lighting in parking lots or hallways
  • Failure to install or maintain surveillance cameras
  • Ignoring previous criminal activity on or near the property

These failures can occur at apartment complexes, hotels, shopping centers, bars, parking garages, or office buildings: anywhere that property owners invite the public.

Common Injuries in Negligent Security Cases

Victims of negligent security incidents often suffer:

  • Assault and battery injuries
  • Sexual assault or harassment
  • Robbery-related injuries
  • Emotional trauma and PTSD
  • Wrongful death

The physical and emotional toll of these crimes can be life-changing.

Our attorneys understand how devastating these incidents are and work tirelessly to pursue justice for our clients.
