Learn about Negligent Security

Negligent Security is a legal concept that expands upon an owner's or landlord’s responsibilities to people when they are on their premises.   

Premises and Individuals Affected by Negligent Security:

• Landlords
• Apartment Buildings
• Business Owners
• Amusement Parks
• Sports Stadiums
• Malls
• Shopping Centers
• Grocery Stores
• Land Owners
• Schools
• Condominiums
• Hotels and Motels

All of these owners or possessors of the property have:

• A duty and responsibility to use reasonable care to maintain the premise in a safe condition,
• A duty to use reasonable care to learn of the existence of any dangerous conditions on the premises,
• A duty to give the invitee or lessee a warning, and
• A duty to correct a dangerous condition. 

The safety measures required will vary according to the situation. That is why if you are injured as the result of the negligence of a business owner or land owner (or as the result of a crime or criminal), you should seek out experienced and competent legal advice.  That is the Chestnut Firm.
