Philadelphia Negligent Security Lawyers for Your Safety

Leading Negligent Security Attorney Based in Philadelphia

When you are lawfully on someone else’s property, you have a reasonable expectation it will be safe. This is true whether you’re going to the grocery store, parking in a lot, or having a beer with friends. When a business owner fails to offer reasonable, adequate security for their customers or visitors, and it results in a serious injury or death, the victim or their family can make a claim for negligent security. Examples of negligent security claims include:

Fights at bars, restaurants, or nightclubs that cause injury to innocent bystanders;
Assaults that occur in parking lots;
Attacks by unrestrained animals; and
Injuries suffered to residents of apartment buildings and college dorms with broken door locks or insufficient check-in policies.

We specialize in complex cases like these to ensure that our clients get the compensation they deserve from their negligent security claim.

What Is Negligent Security?

Negligent security is when a business or property owner fails to provide adequate security that protects their customers or visitors from harm. This security lapse can result in physical or sexual assault, kidnapping, robbery, and even death, and the property owner must be held accountable. To do this, you can file a negligent security lawsuit with help from Stampone O’Brien Dilsheimer Holloway.
