Property owners are required by law to ensure the reasonable security of patrons on their premises. Unsafe conditions are not allowed to exist at an establishment open to the public as these conditions have the potential to cause a serious injury or wrongful death. Expert Little Rock negligent security attorneys at the Law Office of Thomas G. Buchanan have successfully represented victims of violent crimes due to a property owner not taking the correct precautions to ensure the safety of their patrons. Our law office is unrelenting in the pursuit of justice for those wronged by these heinous acts.
Negligence Types
A majority of security negligent cases originate from hotels, bars, restaurants, and sporting event locations. When the owners and operators of these establishments fail to take adequate action in ensuring the safety of their guests, serious personal injuries can take place. Below are some common examples of negligent security in Little Rock:
- Failure to Limit Access
- If a hotel fails to prevent the unauthorized entry of someone into your hotel room, they have failed to limit access. This type of negligence can stem from the management simply using the same key code for all rooms on a given floor, thus allowing a predator into any room they wish. Other instances of this can include locks and deadbolts which are installed yet fail to work.
- History of Violence
- The sad reality is that many bars and drinking establishments may have a history of violence tied to them. If the bar has repeated problems with assaults on patrons, they can be held liable. Security at the bar should be screening patrons for weapons upon entry, especially if a particular type of weapon has been used at their location in the past.
- Intoxicated Guests
- When a bar or sporting event location allows intoxicated guests to assault other patrons, then they can be held liable for the damages caused. Bartenders and vendors serving alcohol are forbidden from serving further drinks to those who are completely intoxicated. Feeding these drunk customers more alcohol often fuels the fire for a conflict to erupt, which can result in serious personal injury or even wrongful death.
- Failure to Warn
- If there are dangers associated with an establishment, the business must warn you about them right away. These warnings are typically printed and within immediate view upon entry to the location. When owners fail to inform their guests of the dangers they will likely experience from being in their establishment, and someone suffers a personal injury, then a claim can be filed against them.
