Negligent Security Injuries and Personal Injury Claims

Car accidents, motorcycle accidents, construction accidents as well as many other types of events caused by negligence can be grounds for personal injury claims. People who are wrongfully injured in Bensalem, Northeast Philadelphia, Feasterville and all over Bucks County have sought and gained legal and fair restitution for injuries suffered because of someone else’s carelessness and negligence.

However, what if those who we place in charge of our personal security in places like shopping centers, malls, government buildings, parking lots and other locations, are irresponsible in those duties. This is a little known type of personal injury claim that can be filed due to poor or negligent security. In 2016, the FBI reported 803,007 assaults across the nation. Proper security measures could have prevented many of them.

All manner of security measures can be deployed; guards, cameras, metal detectors and other screening services in order to safeguard our property and persons in the aforementioned areas. If this is not done to a reasonable standard then those who are injured as a result of this negligence may be able to recover fair compensation by means of a negligent security personal injury claim.
