Negligent Security

When Security Fails, People Get Hurt

At the Brooklyn law firm of Bisogno & Meyerson, we believe it is the responsibility of New York businesses to keep visitors to their properties safe. Apartment buildings should have functioning locks and appropriate security systems. Bars and nightclubs should have well-trained bouncers. Malls and department stores should have a security team, especially if the place has a history of criminal activity.

What if security is lacking and a visitor suffers a serious personal injury because of it? Our personal injury attorneys will stand beside victims. We take action against owners of unsafe premises, striving to provide fair compensation.

We Can Help With All Negligent Security Cases

Negligent security can mean many things. Some examples of negligence include:

  • Broken locks
  • Inadequate lighting
  • Lack of security cameras
  • Improper maintenance of security alarm system
  • Failure to provide trained bouncers or other security staff

These issues, particularly when paired with a history of criminal activity on a property, can result in serious problems, including assaults, stabbings, rapes, shootings and more.

Learning About the History of Unsafe Premises

When handling negligent security cases, whether it involves parking garage injury or an attack in a store, our NY personal injury law firm will take the time to review the property's history. In many cases, we find that there is a long history of similarly violent activity, meaning that the owner had every reason to make sure that security was properly addressed.

We will find the facts. We will build a case. We will pursue success.

Getting results since 1994: A shopping mall kiosk vendor was assaulted, stabbed and robbed by a burglar while setting up his stand. The burglar had entered because the mall's security team left a door unlocked. We took action against the mall. Award: $4 million. This is just one of our many successes.
