Portland Negligent Security Attorney

Support Through Negligent Security Claims in Portland, ME

In Portland, as in many other cities, property owners have a legal obligation to ensure the safety and security of their premises. This responsibility, known as 'premises liability,' covers maintaining adequate security measures to prevent foreseeable crimes. When property owners neglect this duty, negligent security incidents can occur. These incidents often result in injuries or assaults that proper safety measures could have prevented.

Negligent security can include inadequate lighting, lack of security personnel, insufficient surveillance, or broken locks. These failures can attract criminal activity, putting patrons at risk. If you have experienced harm as a result, finding guidance from a negligent security attorney in Portland can help you learn your rights and move toward compensation for your injuries.

Victims of negligent security may suffer physical injuries and emotional trauma. Understanding the impact on your life is essential when pursuing a claim. Our experienced attorney can assess economic and non-economic damages, including lost wages, medical bills, and pain and suffering, so you can pursue the full relief you are entitled to by law.

Common Locations for Negligent Security Incidents

Although security risks exist everywhere, certain places in Portland are more vulnerable. Recognizing these settings helps victims understand their potential legal options:

Types of high-risk areas:

  • Apartment Complexes: Often lack adequate lighting or controlled entry, making them common targets.
  • Shopping Malls and Retail Stores: High-traffic areas with limited security staff can present greater risks.
  • Hotels and Motels: Unmonitored lobbies or hallways may allow unauthorized persons inside.
  • Parks and Recreational Facilities: Gaps in surveillance can leave these locations exposed to unmonitored activity.

Addressing negligent security starts with understanding the vulnerabilities of each type of property. Shopping malls may require more mobile security, while apartment complexes often need better lighting and access control. Each location has its own risk profile, and tailored measures work best to protect people on-site.

Who Can Be Held Responsible for Inadequate Security?

More than one party may hold legal responsibility in a negligent security claim. Property owners have a primary duty to keep their premises reasonably safe, but courts may also hold other parties responsible.

Other parties that can be liable for negligent security include:

  • Property managers
  • Business owners
  • Security companies 

Our team works with clients to examine their situation, gather the facts, and clarify the roles of everyone involved. With experience representing people in Portland, we recognize how local practices and specific relationships between property stakeholders can affect liability in these cases.
