Crime is unpredictable. Still, property owners are required to take certain measures to ensure their property is safe for guests. When a person unexpectedly becomes a crime victim and is seriously injured because a property owner failed to keep his or her property safe, the crime victim may be entitled to monetary compensation. A property owner may be legally responsible for the property owner’s failure to install adequate surveillance; failure to maintain the premises; failure to provide adequate lighting; failure to maintain adequate security; and failure to warn visitors about known risks or dangers.

At the McKnight Law Group, our attorneys apply their extensive knowledge of criminal law and litigation experience to represent murder victims and victims of sexual assault, assault, robbery, and other violent crimes when property owners fail to keep them safe. These types of violent crimes often occur at the same apartment complexes, night clubs, malls, and corner stores. Through experience, we know that many of these crimes could have been prevented.

Negligent security cases require litigation skills and a thorough understanding of a complex system that is not designed for victims to prevail. At the McKnight Law Group, we work with the best experts, investigators, and former law enforcement officers to get the results that our clients deserve. If you have been a victim of a crime or someone you know has been a victim of a crime, our team of trusted attorneys is here to help you seek justice. Contact us today for your free consultation.
