Common Types of Negligent Security Incidents

Negligent security claims often arise from situations such as:

Injuries from assaults in apartment complexes, hotels, or commercial properties with inadequate security
Robberies or assaults in poorly lit parking lots or garages
Accidents caused by broken or malfunctioning security measures, such as gates, locks, or cameras
Harm occurring in bars, nightclubs, or businesses without proper safety protocols
If you’ve been injured in any of these situations, our team can guide you through your legal options and the steps necessary to pursue compensation.

FAQs About Negligent Security

Is a property owner always responsible if I am injured?

No. In St. Louis, a successful negligent security claim requires showing that the property owner failed to take reasonable measures to prevent foreseeable harm and that this failure contributed to your injuries. Responsibility depends on factors such as prior similar incidents, available security measures, and whether the risk was reasonably foreseeable. We evaluate your case to help you understand your options.

What evidence do I need for a negligent security case?

You typically need proof that the incident occurred and that the property owner did not provide reasonable security. This can include medical records, photographs of hazards, police or incident reports, prior incident documentation, and witness statements. Our attorneys guide you through the process of gathering and preserving critical evidence.

Will I have to go to court?

Many negligent security cases settle without trial. If a trial is necessary, hearings usually occur in the Twenty-Second Judicial Circuit Court in St. Louis for incidents within city limits. Our preparation minimizes stress, whether your case is resolved through settlement or litigation. If court attendance is required, our attorneys support you every step of the way.
