What constitutes negligent security?
Negligent security is a theory of premises liability the victim can use as a rationale (cause) for pursuing compensation from the owner or operator of a premises in which the assault took place. Under premises liability laws, the owner or possessor of a premises owes certain legal duties to a business invitee (the invitation can be implied and extends to just about anyone in a place of business). A failure of the owner or possessor of a premises who does not meet these obligations may share responsibility for injuries resulting from certain security breaches, among other causes.
