Holding Property Owners Accountable for Preventable Crimes

A violent assault or robbery should never happen because of poor security. When businesses and property owners fail to take basic precautions, like lighting, surveillance, or security personnel, they put everyone on their property at risk.

At Kwartler Manus, our negligent security attorneys in New Jersey represent victims of attacks, assaults, and other crimes caused by negligent security throughout the state. From our Cherry Hill office, we act fast to expose failures in safety systems, force accountability, and recover the maximum compensation possible.

What Is Negligent Security?

Negligent security is a form of premises liability that applies when a property owner fails to provide reasonable protection against foreseeable harm. Simply put: if they knew there was a risk of crime and did nothing to prevent it, they can be held liable.

We handle negligent security cases involving:

  • Apartment complexes with broken locks or poor lighting
  • Hotels and motels without working surveillance
  • Parking lots and garages lacking attendants or patrols
  • Bars, nightclubs, and event venues ignoring past incidents
  • College campuses with inadequate emergency response
  • Retail centers and gas stations in high-crime areas

If you or someone you love was attacked in one of these environments, you deserve more than sympathy; you deserve justice.

How Negligent Security Leads to Crime

When property owners cut corners on security, the results can be catastrophic. Common consequences include:

  • Physical assaults or robberies
  • Sexual assaults or harassment
  • Carjackings and thefts
  • Fatal violence or wrongful death
  • Psychological trauma and PTSD

These incidents are not random; they often follow a history of prior complaints or police reports that the property owner ignored. Our firm specializes in uncovering that history and turning it into proof.

Proving Liability in a Negligent Security Case

To win a negligent security claim, we must show that:

  1. The property owner had a duty to provide reasonable security.
  2. They knew or should have known about a pattern of criminal activity.
  3. Their failure to act directly caused your injury.

Our attorneys move quickly to obtain:

  • Police records and prior incident reports
  • Maintenance logs and inspection documents
  • Surveillance footage (if available)
  • Testimony from witnesses and security experts

We use every document and data point to demonstrate that what happened to you was preventable and that those responsible must pay for their inaction.

Compensation for Negligent Security Victims

Victims of negligent security may recover compensation for:

  • Medical treatment and rehabilitation
  • Emotional distress and trauma counseling
  • Lost wages or future earning potential
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property damage or theft losses
  • Wrongful death damages for surviving family members

We don’t settle for surface-level settlements. We pursue full and fair compensation that matches the harm done.
