Negligent Security in Parking Lots and Garages

Many businesses and apartment complexes have parking lots and garages that are used by hundreds or thousands of people every day. There are generally numerous people going in and out of these areas yet there are often few people in an area at any given time. Therefore, parking lots and garages may present a high risk of assault and other criminal activity if they are not properly secured. Victims of negligent security in parking lots and garages may be able to recover compensation from the entity or security guard company responsible for securing the area in some circumstances. If you were injured due to criminal acts in a parking lot or garage, Sanders and Associates is experienced at obtaining recovery for your injuries and damages.

Dangers of Negligent Security in Parking Lots and Garages

There are many factors that can make a parking lot or garage an area for criminal activity. One example, if a lot or garage is poorly lit, it may be unsafe for the people who park there. Additionally, crime often occurs in garages with areas that are not monitored by security personnel or cameras. Crime is also more likely to happen in parking lots that are not secured by a gate or fence. Crimes that often happen in negligently secured lots include assault, sexual assault, rape, and robbery, any of which can cause substantial physical and psychological injuries.

Security guard companies are often hired to provide security for these areas, to protect people and property from criminal activities. The guards are often times underpaid, undertrained, working difficult hours where fatigue and distraction are common place, and ultimately unqualified to protect those whom the company claims to protect.
