Some crime happens regardless of how well a property owner monitors and secures their premises. There are also cases where a lack of security despite known risks enables criminal behavior. These crimes may occur in apartment buildings, parking lots, and nightclubs. Examples of inadequate security include:
Property owners who do not secure their premises may be liable if a third party commits a foreseeable crime, such as assault, rape, or robbery. They may also face a wrongful death lawsuit in the event someone dies.
Inadequate security is the basis for a personal injury claim under the theory of premises liability. A business or property owner or manager can be held responsible when they fail to protect people against dangerous conditions, including foreseeable criminal behavior.
There are high standards of proof in negligent security cases, and the burden falls on the plaintiff to show that the defendant should have known a crime could be committed and did not take adequate security measures.
The number of criminal incidents that makes illegal activity foreseeable isn’t dictated under the law. For example, the Arkansas Supreme Court ruled that a bank wasn’t liable for inadequate security based on two other robberies at ATMs during the prior eight years.
At NST Law, we have the knowledge and resources to thoroughly investigate your case and prove, based on past crimes, that the other party did not take the proper steps to keep you safe.
