Becoming the victim of a violent crime on someone else’s property leaves survivors grappling with more than just physical harm. Emotional trauma, mounting medical bills, lost wages, and a lingering sense of vulnerability often accompany these incidents. Our Houston negligent security injury attorneys are committed to helping victims seek justice.
Landlords, business owners, and property managers owe a duty of care to patrons, tenants, and visitors—in a city like Houston, where nightlife thrives and commercial centers bustle, responsible property management is essential. If the owner knows about criminal activity on or around the premises but does not enact adequate measures—enhanced lighting, surveillance systems, security personnel, or warning signs—they may be liable under civil law if someone becomes a crime victim due to their negligence.
Proving a negligent security claim typically involves showing that the property owner had reason to anticipate crime in the vicinity, failed to implement proper safety protocols and that this failure directly led to the victim’s injuries. Such cases are often complex, requiring both legal acumen and investigative skill to establish liability.
