DETROIT NEGLIGENT SECURITY LAWYER

When Security Failures Lead to Serious Harm

Property owners and businesses are expected to take reasonable measures to protect visitors from foreseeable harm. When they overlook known dangers, fail to maintain basic security, or ignore a history of criminal activity, serious injuries may result.

Negligent security incidents can occur at apartment complexes, hotels, parking garages, shopping centers, bars, offices, schools, hospitals, event venues, and other properties. Common security failures may include broken locks or gates, inadequate lighting, missing or nonfunctioning cameras, insufficient security staff, poor access controls, or a failure to warn visitors about known risks.

Morgan & Morgan’s attorneys may be able to review police reports, prior crime records, surveillance footage, maintenance requests, staffing information, and witness statements to determine whether reasonable security measures were in place. Depending on the circumstances, potentially responsible parties may include property owners, landlords, management companies, businesses, or security contractors.

A negligent security claim may seek compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other losses. If you were harmed because a Detroit property lacked reasonable security, Morgan & Morgan may be able to help. Fill out a free case evaluation today.
