Negligent Security

However, if the property owners fails to provide adequate security measures, this type of negligence can result in someone being a victim of a violent crime and causing serious injuries or even death.

Proving Negligence in Missouri

It’s important to understand that not all injuries sustained on someone else’s property can result in a valid premises liability claim. In order to hold the property owner accountable for your injuries, negligence must be clearly determined.

For example, does the location have a history of frequent criminal activity that the owner failed to properly address? Has the owner been informed that better security measures are required on the premises? If one of these instances was evident in your case, then your incident could have been prevented if it wasn’t for the property owner’s negligence.

Negligent security claims often involve the following:



• Improperly trained security personnel
• Failure to conduct background checks on security personnel with criminal records
• Inadequate security cameras
• Inadequate lighting
• Inadequate parking lot surveillance
• Failure to increase security measures after multiple incidents
