Security Negligence

In premises liability law, one issue that is becoming an area of concern is security negligence and/or inadequate security.  Security negligence occurs when proprietors fail to implement appropriate security measures, like installing video cameras, fire alarms, sufficient lighting in parking lots and/or perimeter protection.  Believe it or not, many proprietors are guilty of security negligence, including:  shopping centers, retail stores, businesses, restaurants and housing complexes.

The sole purpose of having adequate security is to protect the safety of customers and residents, which is why property owners are responsible by law for implementing reasonable and ordinary security measures.  Another reason why implementing security measures is so important is that property owners can prevent criminal activity or at least offer some protection if criminal activity occurs on their properties.  For example, if a person visits a store and is approached by a robber in the store's parking lot, if the store owner has surveillance he or she can call for help.  However, if the store owner has inadequate security, the customer may be harmed and has no real form of protection.

While property owners are not generally held accountable for crimes that occur on their properties, they can be held responsible if visitors are harmed due to inadequate security and decide to file claims.  The reason that visitors may file claims is that property owners failed to deter criminal activity and therefore breached their duty.  When injured visitors file claims against property owners for security negligence, they may collect monetary damages for their medical expense, emotional trauma, property damage and pain and suffering.
