Who Is Responsible for Insufficient or Negligent Security Coverage?

When there is not enough security coverage at a venue, especially during an event where many people are expected to be present, many individuals may be responsible for the event. Someone may also be responsible for otherwise unruly security, including personnel who are not thorough.

The following individuals may be liable for your losses:

• Venue owner or renter
• Employer or employee of the premises
• Security company hired by the venue
• Individual security personnel
• Unruly patrons
• Outside pedestrians creating other problems
• Maintenance
• Bar personnel or other dram shops

Other parties may be responsible for your injuries, and there are also cases where multiple individuals are liable for damages. Due to the complexity of this type of claim, we encourage you to work with an negligent security attorney from Byrd Davis Alden & Henrichson LLP. We can help you identify potentially liable parties, find evidence related to your claim, and hold individuals accountable for what they owe to victims.

What Compensation Can You Win Following a Negligent Security-Related Injury?

You may be entitled to compensation for many different losses if you get injured or face other losses due to negligent security. Depending on the damages you face after the incident, the following losses may be eligible for financial recovery:

• Medical bills, including those required to recover from the event in the future
• Court and attorney fees
• Property damage repair or replacement
• Lost wages or wage-earning capacity
• Wrongful death
• Loss of consortium or companionship
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of enjoyment or quality of life
• Scarring and disfigurement

Other losses can qualify for compensation, depending on your needs and circumstances. We encourage you to retain a negligent security lawyer from Byrd Davis Alden & Henrichson LLP, as our team can help you identify other qualifying losses, estimate the value of your claim, and maximize your potential compensation.

What Is the Property Owner’s Duty of Care?

A property owner’s duty of care is extensive, encompassing many responsibilities and obligations to guests and other visitors to the property. The following are some of the property owner’s responsibilities and duty of care:

• Ensure any bars or other alcohol servers do not overserve
• Have security personnel on the premises from a trusted third party or other company
• Sufficient security personnel for the number of expected guests
• Cleaning spills and other hazards
• Preventing food poisoning from any served foods
• Breaking up fights and other potential violent hazards
• Removing unruly individuals
• Mitigating risks by collecting or blocking the entry of any dangerous materials, including weapons and controlled substances

Venue owners have an extensive duty of care, and failing to fulfill this responsibility can result in serious hazards for visitors.
