Property owners failing to provide adequate security can result in injuries or criminal activity. If you’re a victim of negligent security, you may be entitled to compensation.
Whether the incident occurs at a hotel, apartment complex, parking lot, or business, it falls under premises liability. These laws hold property owners accountable for unsafe conditions.
At Kelleher Law, our attorneys have decades of experience in personal injury law. We help clients recover various types of compensation in negligent security lawsuits.
Types of Compensation You Can Recover
If you’ve sustained an injury due to negligent security, here are the types of compensation you may be able to recover.
Medical Expenses
Victims can recover costs related to:
1Emergency care and hospitalization
Ongoing medical treatment
Rehabilitation, physical therapy, and counseling
Prescription drugs
Lost Wages
Say your injuries prevent you from working. In that case, you may be eligible for compensation for lost wages.
This compensation includes income you’ve already lost and future income. You may also be paid damages for reduced earning potential if your injuries result in long-term or permanent disability.
Pain and Suffering
Negligent security incidents often cause more than physical harm. Victims can pursue damages for mental health struggles resulting from the incident, including:
Emotional distress
Anxiety
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Property Damage
You can seek repayment for repairs or replacements if your personal belongings were harmed during the incident. This includes repairs and replacements of:
Phones
Cars
Computers
Other valuables
Punitive Damages
If the property owner’s negligence was particularly egregious, you may also receive punitive damages. They punish the responsible party and are meant to discourage similar behavior in the future.
