Negligent Security
No one expects to be harmed while going about their daily life—shopping, staying in a hotel, visiting an apartment complex, or walking through a parking garage. But when property owners fail to take basic steps to ensure safety and someone becomes a victim of crime or injury as a result, it may be more than bad luck—it may be negligent security. At the Law Office of Maria R. Alaimo, we help victims seek justice when poor security leads to preventable harm.

What Is Negligent Security?
Negligent security is a type of premises liability. It refers to situations where a person is injured or assaulted on someone else's property due to inadequate or non-existent safety measures.
These cases often involve:
- Assaults or robberies in poorly lit or unsecured areas
- Attacks at apartment complexes, hotels, or nightclubs
- Inadequate or broken locks and security gates
- Lack of security cameras or failure to monitor them
- Failure to hire trained security staff
- Ignoring known patterns of crime in the area
If the property owner knew—or should have known—about risks and failed to act, they may be held responsible for what happened.
Understanding Negligent Security - When Safety Fails, We Step In
Negligent security is about what happened to you and it’s about protecting others from the same fate. When businesses or landlords fail to take basic steps to protect people, they must be held accountable.
By standing up for your rights, we send a clear message: safety is not optional.
Who Can Be Held Accountable?
Claims are typically filed against property owners, landlords, or business operators who failed to provide reasonable security. Depending on the circumstances, liable parties might include:
- Apartment complex managers
- Retail store or shopping center owners
- Bar and nightclub owners
- Hotel and resort operators
- Parking garage companies
- Event venues or stadiums
Our job is to help you identify where the system broke down—and who should be held accountable.
What Are the Consequences of Negligent Security?
Negligent security often results in serious trauma, including:
- Physical assault and injury
- Sexual assault
- Armed robbery
- Emotional and psychological trauma
- Long-term disability
- Loss of income or ability to work
These crimes are deeply personal. We take the time to listen, understand what you’ve experienced, and fight for your right to move forward.
What Can You Be Compensated For?
If you’ve been injured due to a lack of proper security, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical bills and ongoing treatment
- Therapy or mental health care
- Lost wages or future earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Relocation or security upgrades at home
- Loss of enjoyment of life
Every case is different. We’ll work closely with you to understand the full impact of the incident.
