Property Security Negligence and Liability Claims

Albuquerque and many cities in California see high rates of property and violent crime. Property owners and managers have a responsibility to maintain a reasonably safe environment for visitors, tenants, and guests. When property owners fail to meet this duty, negligent security may occur.

What is Negligent Security?

Negligent security occurs when a property owner fails to take reasonable measures to protect people from foreseeable criminal acts. This can include hotels, apartment complexes, Airbnb rentals, bars, casinos, grocery stores, parking lots, and other locations. If you were harmed on someone else’s property, the owner may be legally responsible for failing to maintain a safe environment.

Common Signs of Negligent Security

Negligent security can take many forms. Examples include:

  • Lack of Security Personnel or Patrols
  • Inadequate Lighting in Parking Areas or Entrances
  • Missing or Outdated Surveillance Cameras
  • Poor Maintenance of Locks, Gates, and Barriers
  • Failure to Conduct Background Checks on Tenants or Staff
  • No Warnings or “no Trespassing” Signage
  • Ignoring Known Crime Risks in the Area

If any of these factors contributed to your injury or loss, our attorneys can help determine whether you have a claim.

Proving Negligent Security

To hold a property owner accountable, your lawyer must show that:

  1. The crime was foreseeable based on prior incidents or local crime rates.
  2. A reasonable property owner would have taken additional safety measures.
  3. The owner’s failure directly contributed to your injuries or losses.

Our attorneys collaborate with security experts and investigators to document hazards and establish liability. We aim to secure fair compensation for medical bills, lost wages, emotional distress, and other damages caused by negligent security.
