When you enlist our services, you will have a lawyer on your side who can help you get the compensation you deserve.
When a Crime Could Have Been Prevented
In the five boroughs of New York City and beyond, bar fights are often much more than fistfights. Guns and knives are involved. For this reason, security guards are required to contact the police and evacuate the involved parties from the premises safely. The same is true at nightclubs and even at sports venues. If security guards fail to do their job and an assault or a murder occurs, the business can be held responsible for negligent security practices. We will use our legal skills and expert resources to help you hold them responsible.
Failure to Provide Proper Security Precautions
Not all negligent security claims are the result of security guards not doing their jobs. In fact, many are the result of much simpler failures on the part of property owners. For example, the owner of an apartment complex may delay in fixing a broken lock or electronic visitor entry system, allowing an intruder to access the building and commit a rape or other crime.
Businesses such as gas stations that have a history of criminal activity may fail to provide proper lighting, alarms and video surveillance, resulting in a patron being hurt during a robbery or other crime. The property owner should be made to pay compensation to the victim. We strive to see that happen.
Claims Handled on a Contingency Basis
We handle all negligent security and premises liability cases on a contingency basis. This means that you pay attorney fees only if we are successful in getting you compensation.
