You have the right to feel safe in your own home.
When apartment complexes fail to provide proper security — and someone gets hurt as a result — the property owner can and should be held responsible.
At GOLDLAW, we represent victims of assaults, robberies, shootings, and sexual violence that could have been prevented with basic security measures. If you or a loved one has been harmed at an apartment complex, you may be entitled to compensation.
What Is Negligent Security?
Negligent security is a type of premises liability claim. It occurs when a property owner fails to take reasonable steps to protect tenants and visitors from foreseeable crimes.
In apartment complexes, this may include:
- Broken or missing security gates
- Poor or non-existent lighting in parking lots and stairwells
- Lack of security guards in high-crime areas
- Broken locks or doors
- No surveillance cameras or alarm systems
- Failure to screen residents or monitor guest access
If a landlord knew or should have known about criminal activity in or near the complex and failed to act — they may be legally liable.
