Examples of Negligent Security

Property and business owners may be found negligent in providing security in many ways, including:

• Broken locks, which can allow intruders to get into secure premises or parts of the property
• Broken cameras, which inhibit proper surveillance of the premises and prevent the recording of criminal or violent activity directed toward innocent visitors
• Inadequate or broken lighting
• Lack of adequate training for security personnel
• Security guard negligence that includes guards sleeping on the job, being distracted by cellphones or television, and failing to screen entrants to a secured building
• Failure to provide security personnel or security features, such as alarms or emergency call boxes, especially for properties where criminal or violent activity is likely to occur, such as malls or shopping centers, bars and nightclubs, or hotels
