What is a negligent security claim?

A negligent security claim is when a business or a property owner fails to take adequate measures to ensure that customers or people on his property are taken care of safely. This happens when the property owner knows or should of known that the area is a high-crime area. For example, if a property owner or business owner fails to put out proper lighting or have proper security measures in place and you are injured, for example, due to a carjacking or other violent robbery, you may have a claim against the business owner or the property owner for failing to ensure that you were safe on their property.
