Proving Negligence

However, you must do more than prove there was a lack of security. Your lawyer must also prove the property owner was negligent. There are four parts of negligence:

• Duty of care was owed to you ”“ The property owner was legally required to provide adequate security so the place would be reasonably safe for visitors. However, the victim must have been legally permitted to be on the premises. Trespassers generally cannot file a negligent security claim.
• Duty of care was breached ”“ The property owner did not act to uphold his or her legal obligation to maintain a safe property.
• Causation ”“ There must be a direct connection between the failure to uphold the duty of care and the injuries suffered by the victim. For example, if you were assaulted in a poorly-lit area, you would need to show the attack would have been much less likely to occur with better lighting.
• Damages were suffered ”“ You need to provide evidence of damages caused by your injuries, such as medical expenses for current and future treatment, pain and suffering, lost wages, or other damages.

What is a Negligent Security Case Worth?

This is difficult to answer without reviewing the specifics of your claim. The more severe the injury, the more the claim is likely to be worth. This is often because a severe injury requires ongoing treatment after the claim has been settled or a lawsuit has resulted in a verdict.

There are a variety of damages victims may suffer because of negligent security, besides just medical expenses. There may be physical pain and suffering, along with lost wages from missed time at work. In some cases, injuries are so severe the victim must work in a different capacity because of a permanent disability.

This is a complex issue you can discuss with the licensed attorneys at Phillips Law Group.

Deadline for Filing a Claim

Generally, injury victims in Arizona must file a claim within two years of the date of the injury, otherwise it will be barred by state law. If you file a claim, it will likely be dismissed in court.

There are exceptions to this deadline. For example, if you were injured on government property, you have just 180 days to provide notice of claim to the party you are filing against. Minors have two years from their 18th birthday to file a claim.
