Negligent Security

Philadelphia, Lancaster, Pennsylvania

Negligent security is a part of premises liability that can take place in any location where a property owner is responsible for maintaining a safe, well lit, and crime free environment. Shopping malls, schools, hotels, hospitals, and airports all provide the potential for harm if inadequate security is in place.

The Pennsylvania negligent security lawyers at Atlee Hall, LLP have been holding negligent property owners accountable for inadequate security for over 30 years. We strongly believe you have a right to be safe and protected while in public places, and to be compensated for all of your losses when you are not. Criminal charges may take care of the perpetrator, but property owners and managers have an obligation to ensure such a crime never happens in the first place.

Potential Injuries with Inadequate Security

Dark parking lots, unmonitored hallways, and insufficient security measures can lead to a number of personal injuries including:

• Assault
• Rape
• Traumatic brain injury
• Abduction
• Death

Criminals look for opportunities to strike. The owners of places that attract large numbers of people, or that are located in dark and semi-remote areas should expect a criminal element may be attracted to that location, and must take appropriate precautions to protect the rest of the community.

When you are injured due to inadequate security, it can be difficult to know where to begin. Police reports will need to be filed and criminal investigation perused, but your personal pain and emotional suffering should also be accounted for. The negligent security attorneys at Atlee Hall, LLP are here to help you identify the negligent parties and hold them accountable for allowing these injuries to happen.

If you or a love one has sustained an injury or been attacked in an area that should have been secured throughout the state of Pennsylvania, please contact the Philadelphia or Lancaster offices of Atlee Hall, LLP for an initial consultation.
