Denver Negligent Security Attorney
Request Free ConsultationWhen you visit a property for business or for pleasure, you expect a certain level of safety and security while you are on the property. Property owners and occupiers have a duty to maintain their properties in such a way as to avoid reasonably foreseeable harm to people who enter the property. When we think of maintaining a property, what comes to mind more often is the physical structure of the property. Ensuring that grocery store visitors are warned of slippery floors inside the store. Maintaining parking lots to avoid dangerous conditions for customers. But what happens if you are on a property and you are injured by the actions of an unknown third party on the property?
If you are on a property and you are injured by the criminal actions of an unknown third party, you may be entitled to compensation from the property owner or occupier. A negligent security attorney can help you understand your rights and determine if you have a claim based on negligent security. To get more information about how a negligent security attorney can help you, contact the experienced Denver negligent security attorneys at Fuicelli & Lee at (303) 444-4444.

Duty of Property Owners or Occupiers
Property owners or occupiers have a duty to take reasonable and ordinary care to make their premises safe for those who may enter the premises.
Duty of Property Owners or Occupiers for Security of Visitors
Generally, property owners or occupiers have a duty to take reasonable measures to protect customers from injuries caused by the criminal actions of unknown third parties, when such criminal acts are generally foreseeable.
Business owners whose premises are open to the public are responsible for any injuries suffered by their customers as a result of any accidental, negligent, or intentionally harmful acts of third parties, persons or animals, and by the business owner’s failure to exercise reasonable care to:
- discover foreseeable dangerous security conditions on and around the property, or
- give adequate warning to enable the visitors to avoid the harm, or otherwise to protect them against it.
The way a property owner or occupier protects their visitors will depend on the type of harm foreseeable. Having security guards may be necessary for some premises.
How Can You Prove Negligent Security in Denver?
If you have been injured by a third party while visiting a property, proving negligent security can be very challenging. It requires extensive investigation and documentation of evidence to prove that the property owner or occupier was negligent. Some of the relevant factors to consider as to whether the harm suffered by the visitor was foreseeable include:
- The type of business
- The location of the business
- Any past experiences that raise security concerns
If any of these factors is such that a business owner should reasonably anticipate careless or criminal conduct by third parties, the business owner might be under a duty to take precautions against it. And they may be legally responsible for any injuries resulting from their failure to meet that duty.
