Security Negligence Lawyers in Washington, DC

IDENTIFYING NEGLIGENT SECURITY PRACTICES IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA & MARYLAND

Providing adequate security is one of the duties that property owners owe to lawful visitors, protecting them from unreasonable harm. The property owner’s responsibility depends on the type of property, its location, and any history of criminal activity in the area. Depending on these factors, the property owner or manager may need to provide security gates, cameras, lighting, alarms, or assign security personnel.

If you were assaulted or attacked on another’s property, Fay Law Group can determine whether the property owner holds responsibility and can guide you in pursuing a civil case to recover damages for medical costs, emotional distress, lost income, and additional losses. The assailant may face criminal charges and imprisonment, which can provide peace of mind, but securing fair compensation supports your ability to move forward.

Linking Negligent Security to Assaults & Attacks

There are various key factors that will need to be considered in building a premises liability lawsuit related to negligent security. 

These are a few issues our attorneys will take into account:

  • What duty did the property owner owe in regard to security?
  • Were there similar assaults or criminal activity at this location in the past?
  • Does the type of property warrant stringent security measures?
  • What types of security measures should have been in place?
    What reasonable measures could the property owner have taken to prevent the assault?
  • If security personnel were present, did they act in accordance with their duties?
  • How did the lack of security contribute to or allow the attack/assault to occur?

Property owners must monitor crime patterns and update their property’s security as needed. For example, businesses in Northeast DC may need brighter lighting or more frequent security patrols after a series of incidents. Failure to address rising threats could impact a negligent security claim.

No matter what kind of incident caused your injuries, our Washington, DC security negligence attorneys can support your pursuit of closure. We assist with cases involving sexual assault, physical assault, robbery, mugging, gang violence, and more.

Negligent Security Statute of Limitations in DC

Understanding the importance of timing after a security-related injury in Washington, DC, helps protect your rights. You generally have three years from the date of the incident to file a civil lawsuit for negligent security. Waiting beyond this period may prevent you from seeking compensation, even with a valid claim. 

As such, it's essential to consult an experienced negligent security attorney in Washington, DC, as soon as possible. Acting early gives your legal team time to investigate, preserve evidence, and meet critical filing deadlines to protect your right to recovery.
