Our firm is here to fight for your rights and secure the compensation you deserve.
Negligent security occurs when a property owner or manager fails to implement adequate safety measures, leading to a preventable criminal assault such as rape, shooting, or physical attack. These incidents often result in severe harm due to the lack of reasonable protection.
Even a single lapse in security can expose you to life-changing violence and suffering.
Criminal assaults tied to negligent security can stem from various failures. At the Law Office of Mark Wolin, we’ve handled cases involving:
These failures often occur at malls, shopping centers, strip centers, hotels, apartments, condominiums, clubs, and bars—places where property owners have a duty to protect you.
Injuries from criminal assaults can impact every facet of your life. Some effects are immediate, while others linger, requiring urgent support.
Negligent security cases are complex. Property owners and insurers often deny responsibility, claiming the crime was unforeseeable or your fault. Without skilled legal representation, you risk receiving far less than you need for medical care, therapy, and justice.

How do I know if I have a negligent security claim?
If you were assaulted due to a property owner’s failure to provide reasonable security, you may have a claim. A consultation can clarify.
Can I file a claim for someone else?
Yes. If a loved one was injured or killed, a family member or guardian can pursue it.
What evidence proves negligent security?
Security records, crime history, photos, and expert testimony are key.
How long does a negligent security case take?
Cases can take months to years, depending on injury severity, liability disputes, and trial needs.
Will I need to go to court?
Many cases settle, but we’re prepared to litigate if the offer isn’t fair.
What if the criminal wasn’t caught?
You can still sue the property owner for negligence, regardless of the assailant’s status.
How much is my negligent security case worth?
Value varies by injury extent, medical costs, emotional harm, and owner fault. A review provides an estimate.
Our firm was successful in winning a confidential settlement for a girl, age 7, burned in a foster home. Under today’s system, the state has “privatized” foster care, contracting our foster care to private companies. Under Gov. Jeb Bush, those private foster-care companies helped write their own regulatory statutes, which provide that the private contractor/foster parent is liable only upon a showing of “willful disregard” – a higher standard than ordinary “negligence.” Unfortunately, as recent headlines and our own experience remind us, “willful disregard” is precisely what happens too often in some foster homes. For a lawyer, these cases are especially poignant, involving a child who has been victimized twice.
Recently, a lovely 22-year old student and part-time telemarketer was socializing with friends at the bar of a popular bowling alley, when a fight broke out, and she and a friend were assaulted. In the melee, her two front teeth got knocked out by another patron swinging a pool stick. Despite the heavy turnout that night because of a special promotion, we were able to prove that the bowling alley failed to provide security that responded to the altercation when it broke out, and video cameras installed to monitor such activity were either disabled and unmonitored.
Thanks to careful investigation and preparation, the insurance company for the bowling alley agreed to a settlement providing substantial and satisfying compensation to our client for her injuries, without even the need to file a lawsuit.
