Security Negligence & Injury Lawsuits in Greenville
Greenville Injury Attorney
Security negligence is a specific form of negligence that may offer a victim grounds for a premises liability lawsuit against a property owner for injuries sustained in an attack or assault that occurred due to inadequate security. If you were staying at a hotel, eating at a restaurant, dancing at a nightclub or walking to your car in a parking garage and you were the victim of an attack, robbery or sexual assault, it is possible that the property owner or manager may be held liable. These cases may be complicated in nature, however, particularly when it comes to proving the legal accountability of the property owner. That is why we highly recommend involving a Greenville injury attorney as soon as possible.
There are specific issues that your lawyer must consider when handling a claim involving security negligence in the Greenville area. This may include:
- Whether the property owner had a legal obligation to provide for your safety;
- Whether the property owner failed to provide reasonable security to counter certain crimes or dangers;
- Whether the property owner's failure to provide proper security was the cause of your injuries; and
- That you suffered actual damages as a result of the incident.
What may be considered "negligence" will often vary on a case by case basis. It will require a thorough investigation of the property and similar crimes, if any, to determine whether the property owner should have provided more comprehensive security measures.
