Negligent Security
Negligent Security
There’s an expectation of safety when we patronize shopping centers, hotels, bars and restaurants, amusement parks, sporting stadiums, and theatres. We also expect that our children are safe when they attend various academic institutions, starting with their first day at daycare through graduation at a college or university.
Property owners have a duty to keep visitors and employees safe by providing sufficient basic security and avoid foreseeable hazards. The failure to adequately secure the premises normally creates dangerous or unsafe conditions for visitors or, in some cases, employees causing significant injuries.
