Justice for Victims of Preventable Violence in Philadelphia

When you visit an apartment building, nightclub, parking lot, or hotel, you expect to be safe. Property owners have a duty to protect their guests and tenants from foreseeable harm. But when they cut corners, ignoring broken locks, broken lights, or missing security, innocent people get hurt.

At Kwartler Manus, our negligent security attorneys in Philadelphia represent victims of assaults, robberies, and violent crimes that happened because a property owner failed to take basic safety measures. We know how fast these cases move after an attack: evidence disappears, witnesses scatter, and property owners deny responsibility. Our job is to move faster.

What Is Negligent Security?

Negligent security is a form of premises liability where property owners or managers fail to provide reasonable safety precautions. It’s not just about bad luck; it’s about poor planning and ignored warnings that lead directly to violence.

We handle cases arising from:

  • Assaults or robberies in apartment complexes and hotels
  • Attacks in parking garages or retail stores
  • Inadequate security at bars, nightclubs, or concert venues
  • Shootings or stabbings near unmonitored entrances
  • Crimes in poorly lit stairwells, hallways, or lots

Our attorneys dig deep into maintenance logs, surveillance systems, and prior police reports to prove the property owner knew about the danger and failed to act.

How Negligence Leads to Violence

In Philadelphia, violent crimes are too often made worse by preventable security failures. These aren’t coincidences. They’re patterns of neglect that allow dangerous situations to develop unchecked.

We frequently uncover conditions such as:

  • Nonfunctioning security cameras or alarms
  • Lack of trained guards or patrols despite known risks
  • Broken lighting or locked exits
  • Ignored complaints about threats or trespassers
  • Poor crowd control or event staffing

When safety systems fail, our team steps in to rebuild the timeline, connecting negligence directly to the harm you suffered.

Injuries and Losses in Negligent Security Cases

The physical and emotional consequences of these attacks can last a lifetime. Victims may face steep medical bills, lost income, and trauma that lingers long after the incident.

We represent individuals suffering from:

  • Head and brain injuries
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Knife or gunshot wounds
  • Scarring, disfigurement, or permanent disability
  • Emotional distress, anxiety, and PTSD

Each case is built to show not just what happened, but why and how property owners could have stopped it.

Establishing Liability in a Negligent Security Claim

To win these cases, it’s not enough to prove that a crime occurred. We must prove that it was foreseeable and preventable based on prior incidents, inadequate security, or known risks.

Our firm investigates every aspect of the property’s safety practices, including:

  • Maintenance and inspection records
  • Staffing policies for guards and attendants
  • Past reports of crime or suspicious activity
  • Lighting, access control, and surveillance coverage

We use this evidence to show the court or insurance company exactly where the system broke down and who’s responsible for it.

Compensation for Victims of Negligent Security

Victims of negligent security have the right to seek full compensation for both physical and psychological harm. We pursue damages that account for the true cost of what was taken from you.

Recovery may include:

  • Medical expenses and ongoing therapy
  • Lost wages or diminished earning capacity
  • Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma
  • Relocation or security expenses after the incident
  • Wrongful death damages for surviving family members

Our attorneys don’t settle early or accept partial responsibility; we prepare every file like it’s heading to trial, and that pressure drives stronger results.
