Attonarys for Negligent Security/Failure to Keep Premises Safe in New York
Negligent security occurs when property owners fail to provide adequate security measures to protect people from harm. This can include insufficient lighting, broken locks, inadequate surveillance, or failure to hire security personnel. Negligent security can lead to crimes such as assault, robbery, or other violent acts occurring on the premises.
In New York, property owners are required to ensure that their premises are safe from criminal activity. If an individual is injured during a criminal act, the property owner may be held liable for failing to maintain a safe environment. For example, if a business fails to fix broken security cameras or fails to provide adequate lighting in a parking lot, they could be held liable for injuries that occur as a result.
