Denver Negligent Security Lawyer

Attorney for Negligent Security Cases

When you are the victim of a criminal act, you may feel scared, hurt and helpless. Whether you were raped, robbed, assaulted or are suffering from the loss of a murdered family member, your attack may have been partially due to poor security at the location of the crime. Thousands of people are victimized by negligent security every year, leading to a wide array of illegal acts resulting in emotional scars, physical injuries and death. When a property owner fails to provide adequate security and it results in the violation, injury or death of a visitor, he or she should be held responsible for their failure to protect guests. A Denver accident attorney can help victims of negligent security seek out compensation for their suffering.

Most cases of premise liability law focus on ill-maintained property, resulting in slip and fall accidents or similar problems. But this same legal precedent also makes a property owner responsible for keeping land safe from the illegal acts of criminals. When the property is in a bad area, the owner should warn customers, install security cameras and hire security guards to protect potential visitors. A failure to do so results in a property owner’s liability for any accidents on the property. If you or a loved one was harmed due to these circumstances, it is crucial you speak with a Denver negligent security lawyer to discuss your legal options.

Many people who commit rape, robbery and murder are never caught. Even when they are convicted, the sentences rarely help victims pay off their therapy and medical bills incurred due to the crime. For these reasons, it is highly important for victims of these crimes to file a Colorado personal injury claim against the property owner that allowed the crime to occur in the first place.

For a Denver personal injury attorney to win a case of this nature, he or she must prove that the landowner had good reason to foresee these events and still failed to act in any way to prevent them. If a woman was raped in a parking garage for example, and there was evidence of other crimes occurring in this same garage, this would weigh heavily on the case and help show the owner was aware of the potential for danger in the garage. On the other hand, if a mall was relatively safe and the owner still hired adequate security to help stop most of the crimes that did occasionally occur, a parking lot assault case would be much harder to prove.
