What Does Inadequate Security Mean?
Inadequate security exists when property owners fail to implement reasonable safety measures despite foreseeable risks of criminal activity. They must assess crime patterns in their area and respond appropriately.
Common security failures include broken or non-functioning locks, poor lighting in parking areas and walkways, lack of security cameras or monitoring systems and insufficient security personnel. When deficiencies allow criminals to commit assault, robbery or other violent acts, victims may pursue premises liability claims against property owners.
Who Can Be Held Liable?
Various property owners may face liability for inadequate security, including landlords of apartment complexes, shopping malls and retail stores, hotels and parking facilities, bars and nightclubs, construction sites, and even government entities managing public spaces. The property owner must have known or should have known about security risks and failed to take reasonable protective measures.
What Compensation Is Available?
Victims of crimes resulting from negligent security may recover damages, including medical bills for immediate and ongoing treatment, lost wages and diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. Our Cleveland attorneys work diligently to document the full extent of your losses and build compelling cases for maximum compensation.
