Negligent Security Injuries in New York City

When you walk into any New York establishment, there is an assumption that the premises and parking lot are safe. While some circumstances are unforeseeable, when a person gets injured due to inadequate or nonexistent security measures, the property owners may be held liable for those claims. Negligent security leads to crimes against individuals every day in the city. Most negligent security claims involve assaults that occur on the premises of businesses or apartment complexes. They can also occur in bars, hotels, sporting and entertainment venues, shopping malls or plazas, and a variety of public establishments. Negligent security injuries include:
  • Assault
  • Sexual assault
  • Mugging
  • Rape
  • Abduction
  • Kidnapping
