What is negligent security?

Negligent security occurs when a manager or property owner doesn’t take reasonable steps to protect visitors from foreseeable criminal acts. Note the word “foreseeable” there—this means that property owners aren’t automatically held liable for any crime that occurs on their property. The courts look at whether or not the harm could have been prevented had the property owner anticipated it and taken appropriate precautions, based on prior incidents and known risks.

Examples of negligent security include:
— Broken locks on doors and gates
— No security personnel in high-risk areas
— Poor lighting in stairwells, parking lots, and walkways
— Surveillance cameras that do not work
— Failing to address complaints about safety concerns or previous incidents

If a property owner knew or should have known about a security risk and did not take steps to address it, they may be held legally responsible.

Hurt in Arizona? Golfing? Hiking? In an Uber? Don’t wait.

The sooner we’re able to get involved in a case, the better the result is likely to be. Evidence can disappear quickly, witness memories fade, and insurance companies often begin building their defense right away.

If you or someone you know is injured, it’s always better to ask questions early rather than later. Even a quick conversation can help protect your rights.

Keep this in mind during your Arizona getaways.

Thank you Frank, Nick, and Kandi, on a job well done!

"In late 2016, I was involved in a rear in collision whereas a U.S. Border Patrol officer struck my vehicle from behind on I-10 east of Phoenix. This involved a roll-over with extrication of me from my vehicle. I sustained neck and back injuries, however non-life-threatening. A few months afterwards, the Border Patrolman decided to falsify his statement in court and his citation for having caused the accident was dismissed. I was not notified of this proceeding as such was not able to provide my testimony. As a result, his insurance closed my claim. At this juncture I had no recourse but to fight him and his insurance company (GEICO by the way). I attempted to seek legal representation from two other law firms, and they were not interested due to their perceived low value of my claim. I was finally placed in contact to the Plattner Verderame firm and within 15 minutes of speaking with Frank Verderame, he took my case on. From the onset, this firm was very professional and working in the legal field, I felt extremely confident in their abilities to fight for me. Nick Verderame accompanied me to my deposition which was a key component if getting my claim settled with GEICO as the truth finally came out. Kandi Jacobs was very helpful as well. She provided me regular updates and I truly felt they were sincere and caring. My claim should have never had to go into litigation, but facing GEICO only proved my suspicions that they never want to take responsibility for their insured's actions. As a result, the Border Patrolman now has a judgement against him. In the end, I am completely satisfied with the legal representation I received from the Plattner Verderame firm and I would recommend them to anyone needing any type of legal assistance.

Thank you Frank, Nick, and Kandi, on a job well done!"

Property owners have a responsibility to take reasonable steps to help keep their visitors, tenants, and customers safe.

When inadequate security measures contribute to an assault, robbery, or other violent crime, victims may have legal options. Issues like poor lighting, broken locks, lack of security measures, or inadequate surveillance can create dangerous conditions that put people at risk.

Understanding your rights after an incident can be an important step toward seeking accountability and compensation for your injuries.

Read our latest blog to learn more about negligent security claims and what you should know if you’ve been harmed due to inadequate security.

Although drivers are often primarily liable for collisions, there are situations where liability may be shared with bicyclists:

• The cyclist was riding outside a designated bike lane in an unsafe way
• The cyclist was traveling at unsafe speeds for the conditions
• Visibility was limited, and the bicyclist did not have proper lighting, gear, or reflectors

Arizona is a pure comparative negligence state. This means that if liability is shared, the victim can still recover compensation. Their compensation is just reduced proportionately to their share of liability. For example, if a bicyclist is found to be 10% at fault for a dooring accident because of their speed, their $10,000 award would be decreased 10% to $9,000.

A bicycle ride can change in an instant when a defective product puts safety at risk.

We recently resolved a case involving an experienced cyclist who suffered severe injuries after a manufacturing defect caused her bike’s brakes to function incorrectly. A simple attempt to slow down resulted in a devastating crash with lifelong consequences.

This case is an important reminder to always make sure your bicycle and equipment are properly manufactured, inspected, and safe to use. When defective products cause harm, those responsible may need to be held accountable.

If you or someone you know has been injured in a bicycle accident involving a defective bike or equipment, our team is here to help answer your questions.

Nick was so excited to be a guest with his friends on this episode! ⚾️⚽️🏈

This week, Nick and the hosts behind the Sunday Morning Quarterbacks podcast, covered a little bit of everything—from the Arizona Diamondbacks’ chaotic Wild Card push and whether they have another miraculous October run in them, to Paul Skenes’ velocity dip and the humbling reality of Major League Baseball.

Then they took a trip across the pond for a huge Premier League preview, breaking down new managers, big-money midfield moves, our predictions for the table, and even an American’s primer on soccer terminology. 🇬🇧

They also got into the Jaden Daniels LSU jersey retirement debate, the legal fallout of NIL contracts, over-involved parents in college sports, and so much more. Plus, there’s a very heartfelt Lasso and a well-earned Punch to round things out.

Basically, if you love sports talk that’s honest, funny, unfiltered, and willing to go way beyond the box score, you’re going to want to listen to this one.

Grab a pint, block out an hour, and hit play! 🍻

Thank you Plattner Verderame for your excellent and ethical work!

"My name is Dr. Matt French, and I am a chiropractor and avid cyclist. In 2009, while bicycling to my office, I was struck by an oncoming, left-turning truck on a quiet residential street. I sustained a significant amount of trauma requiring a 5-day hospital stay and 5 surgeries over the following 16 months. Being that my profession requires that my bones be intact, considerable time at work was lost. As a self-employed father of two, this created a very serious financial stress. I have immeasurable gratitude for the help that Richard Plattner and Plattner Verderame provided. I appreciated the honesty throughout the process- not promoting unrealistic promises. Their level of integrity and professionalism was truly superb. The outcome of my case was more than satisfactory, and has enabled me to further my medical education. This will allow me to enter into a family wellness medical practice, and reduce the physical stress the chiropractic work causes to my significantly damaged elbow joint. Thank you Plattner Verderame for your excellent and ethical work!" - Dr. Matt French

Thank you Dr Matt French for the kind words.

🚲 A simple moment, opening a car door, can have serious consequences for bicyclists.

Dooring accidents happen when a driver or passenger opens a vehicle door into the path of an oncoming cyclist. These crashes can lead to severe injuries, especially when riders are forced into traffic or hit the pavement unexpectedly.

Whether you're driving, parking, or riding, awareness matters. Drivers and passengers should always check for approaching cyclists before opening a door, and bicyclists should remain alert around parked vehicles.

If you or someone you love has been injured in a bicycle accident, understanding your rights and legal options is an important step. Learn more about dooring accidents and what Arizona law may mean for injured cyclists in our recent blog on our website https://plattner-verderame.com/blog/dooring-accidents-involving-bicyclists/
