Paralyzed After an Attack on Someone’s Property: Your Negligent Security Claim<\/h2>\n

You were attacked on someone else’s property\u2014an apartment complex, parking garage, hotel, bar, or gas station\u2014and the assault left you paralyzed. The attacker may face criminal charges. But there’s a separate legal question: Did the property owner fail to provide reasonable security, and is that failure responsible for what happened to you?<\/p>\n

The answer may be yes. When a property owner neglects basic security\u2014broken locks, missing lighting, no cameras, no guards\u2014and someone is attacked as a result, that owner can be held financially liable. This is called a negligent security claim<\/strong>, and it exists independent of any criminal case.<\/p>\n\n
