Lawyers Serving Biloxi and All of Mississippi

If you have been injured in a criminal attack or assault on someone else’s property, you have the right to sue the person who attacked you, but that is not your only option. Property and business owners have a duty to provide a safe environment for customers, employees, visitors, guests and others who enter the property. That includes providing protection from foreseeable criminal acts. The attorneys at Reeves & Mestayer proudly represent victims of attacks as a result of negligent security in Biloxi and throughout the state of Mississippi.

Foreseeability

One of the most important aspects of a negligent security case is establishing foreseeability. A property owner is negligent if he failed to provide protection from a foreseeable crime. Our experienced Mississippi negligent security attorneys understand that factors that can establish a known risk include:

  • High-risk type of business, such as a bank or hotel
  • Located in a high-crime area
  • A history of crime on the property
  • A recent uptick of crime on the property or in the area
  • A direct threat has been made

Inadequate Security

What constitutes adequate security measures is unique to each property. Certain types of businesses have minimum requirements, even in the best locations. Some common examples of inadequate security measures include:

  • Poor lock and key controls in apartment building, hotels, and motels
  • Inadequate lighting in parking lots, parking garages, walkways, hallway, stairwells, and other public spaces
  • Lack of security cameras and monitoring of the cameras
  • Lack of or too few security guards
  • Inadequately trained security staff
  • Inadequate building access control
  • Failure to respond to a direct threat

Crimes

Criminal attacks and assaults which can occur as a result of inadequate security include:

  • Sexual assault and rape
  • Strong-arm robbery
  • Assault and battery
  • Fights
  • Stabbing
  • Shooting
  • Kidnapping
  • Murder

Types of Property

Examples of the types of property where owners or operators may be held liable for negligent security include:

  • Apartment and condominium complexes
  • Hotels and motels
  • Bars and nightclubs
  • Restaurants
  • Banks and ATM’s
  • Shopping malls and shopping centers
  • Retail stores
  • Hospitals
  • Nursing homes
  • Schools and day care centers
  • Universities
  • Courthouses and other government buildings
  • Parks
  • Office buildings
  • Theaters
  • Amusement parks
  • Stadiums and amphitheaters
  • Parking lots and parking structures
