Negligence in Property Upkeep

Negligence in Property Upkeep

In some cases, injuries result from criminal activity rather than unsafe conditions. Property owners are required to provide adequate security in certain locations. Failing to do so can result in assaults, robberies or other violent crimes. Negligent security cases often involve:

 

No security cameras or surveillance in high crime areas.

 

Poorly lit parking lots or stairwells which increases the risk of attacks.

 

Unsecured entrances or gates which allows unauthorized people to enter.

 

Inadequate security personnel at apartment complexes, hotels or shopping malls.

 

Falling Objects & Structural Hazards

Unsafe structures and falling objects can cause serious head injuries, broken bones or even fatalities. Premises liability cases often involve:

 

Ceiling collapses due to poor maintenance.

 

Store displays falling on customers due to improper stacking.
