Negligent Security

Everyone likes to feel safe and secure. Unfortunately, individuals sometimes have a false sense of security, and when they are supposed to be safe, they might not be. This is known as negligent security and this can result in harm and injury to someone. Populated areas such as Downtown Los Angeles, West Hollywood and Beverly Hills are well known areas for incidents such as these. If you or someone close to you was injured because of the lack of security, contact a lawyer in Downtown Los Angeles today.

Have you or Someone you Know Been Injured due to Negligent Security?

It is imperative to contact a Los Angeles lawyer regarding your any potential Negligent Security lawsuit. Issues can include the following:

• Security patrols not on duty when needed

• Lack of adequate locks on common areas like pools and gyms
• Incompetent or poorly trained or supervised security personnel such as private guards and bouncers
