Many people know that if they are injured on someone’s property due to the owner’s negligence, Illinois law allows them to pursue a premises liability claim to recover damages for the losses their injuries have caused. These lawsuits typically involve injuries from slip and fall accidents, dog bites, and building code violations. However, people may not be aware that injured individuals can also pursue legal action if they were injured due to insufficient security by the property owner or business. An Illinois personal injury lawyer can help.
What Is an Insufficient Security Lawsuit?
An insufficient security lawsuit is a type of legal action brought against a property owner, business, or other entity responsible for premises where inadequate security measures have resulted in harm to individuals. These lawsuits typically arise when someone is injured or becomes a victim of criminal activity, such as assault, robbery, or vandalism, due to the property owner’s failure to provide adequate security.
