Portland Security Negligence Attorneys

Premises Liability Lawyers

Just as property owners have an obligation to take action to help ensure that their property is free from hazards that may cause an accident such as a slip and fall, so are they responsible for providing adequate security measures to protect visitors.

If a property owner’s negligence leads to an assault, robbery, rape or attack of any kind, you may be able to work with a Portland premises liability lawyer and take legal action against the property owner.

Did Negligent Security Lead to Your Injuries?

If you were assaulted or attacked in any way while on another’s property, you may have grounds to file a premises liability claim against the property owner for negligent security. If the property owner did not take reasonable measures to help ensure the safety of those who legally use the property, he or she may be held liable for this and you may be able to seek compensation for the injuries that you suffered.

For example, Joe and Melissa are staying in a hotel in Portland. Late in the night, someone breaks into their room and robs them, causing physical injuries to both Joe and Melissa and taking their money. If Joe and Melissa hire a lawyer, through an investigation the lawyer may find that the hotel’s security system was offline and had not been working for several months. Because of this, the assailant was able to enter the hotel grounds through a back gate and fairly easily gain access to the room. Was this security negligence? A lawyer would need to file a lawsuit and resolve this matter through negotiations with the hotel owner or through litigation in court. Either way, it is possible that Joe and Melissa may be able to recover compensation for their medical expenses, stolen property, and emotional trauma.
