What Negligent Security Looks Like In New York

Negligent security claims are based on injuries a person usually would take as a victim of a crime such as robbery or assault. It doesn’t necessarily have to be physical injuries, but emotional injuries can be just as debilitating to you.

Property owners have a duty to you and must be aware that their customers are in a possibly risky area, and as such, must have appropriate security measures, such as:

• Functioning locks
• Security cameras
• Guards
• Alarms
• Adequate lighting in stairwells
• Regular warnings to clients

These rules apply to stores, restaurants, malls and any other place that gets frequent visitors who may be the victims of an attack or a crime. A key consideration for a negligent security claim is whether the attack or injury was more likely to happen because of the lax security measures.
