Barrington Injury Lawyers for Victims of Poor Security and Building Safety
Attorneys for Assault Victims Injured Due to Poor Security in Palatine, Lake Zurich and Surrounding Areas
Hotels, shopping centers, apartments and other businesses have a responsibility to take reasonable steps to ensure the safety of their customers, especially if there is a known risk of crime in the area. If you were injured due to negligent security, you may be able to pursue a personal injury claim against the property owner. This area of law is known as premises liability.
At Lucas Law in Barrington, Illinois, we offer a free case evaluation if you are injured in an assault. We'll assess the liability of the property owner and explain your rights without cost or obligation.
What Is Negligent Security?
There are many types of property conditions and situations that could give rise to a claim of negligent security. Here are a few examples:
- Inadequate lighting in parking lots, near building entrances and other areas where criminals may lurk
- Missing or broken security cameras
- Failure to hire guards or request additional police patrols, despite knowledge of crime in the area
- Missing or broken locks on doors and windows of apartments and hotel rooms
The sooner you contact our attorneys after an assault, the better we can document the negligent condition that led to your injury. In the aftermath of an assault, property owners often make repairs to dangerous or defective conditions. It's important to collect and preserve evidence of negligent conditions using smartphone pictures, witness statements and police reports.
Our negligent security lawyers have spent nearly three decades pursuing compensation for crime victims and their families. You can rely on our firm for aggressive and dedicated representation.
