Kelly Law Offices in Chicago, IL Helps Clients Recover Losses as a Result of Premises Negligent Security
When Negligent Security Causes Serious Injury
No one wants to be attacked or injured out in the world, but we still take precautions to be safe. We buckle our safety belts, install alarm systems in our homes, and teach our children to be careful. But what if we are in a situation in which a property owner’s negligence has put us in danger? Something as simple as a broken lock on the door of an apartment building or insufficient and incompetent security personnel in an area known to be risky can be an invitation to an unscrupulous criminal — and a serious threat to innocent and unaware victims.
Chicago, Illinois Premise Liability Lawyers
At the Law Offices of the Kelly Law Offices, our Northwestern Illinois premises liability lawyers have extensive experience investigating dangerous premises and negligent security cases. The most common inadequate security cases come against malls, hotels, motels, apartment and condominium complexes, schools, and casinos, but there are innumerable places where an inattention to security measures can cause tragic results. In many cases, paying attention to small matters such as lighting or simply caring about the safety of tenants or patrons could have prevented assaults, serious injuries, and sometimes, fatalities.
As a result of negligent security, dangerous conditions can arise, including:
- Unmonitored areas like parking lots, elevators, stairwells, hallways, bathrooms, common areas, and parking garages
- Faulty or broken locks
- Broken windows
- Doors and gates that won’t close properly
- Broken or faulty alarm systems
- Poorly lit areas
- Inadequate security forces
In every premises liability case we deal with, we begin with a complete investigation. We review the police investigation, and we determine what security measures might have prevented the crime that caused injury or death. We prepare vigorously for trial, even if we are able to settle out of court.
