Types of Accidents Due to Inadequate Security
Today’s world often presents us with scary and unpredictable situations that we never could imagine being in. Unfortunately, danger can happen even in seemingly safe places. Any establishment that is open to the public needs to be prepared for the unexpected, including supermarkets, bars, schools, movie theaters, libraries, parking lots, hotels, among many others. As unfortunate as it is, when a property owner fails to take the appropriate security measures, serious incidents can occur. Just a few of the many security measures that a property owner may take into consideration include:
- Installing an appropriate amount of surveillance cameras for the space that needs to be monitored
- Consistently monitoring surveillance cameras for any behavior that may be concerning or dangerous
- Ensuring that the establishment is guarded by well-trained security personnel
- Ensuring that all walkways, parking lots, and other outdoor areas have enough lighting
- Regularly checking to see whether locks are working
- Fixing any security flaws that may develop
Fulfilling the Burden of Proof
Those who have been injured because of a lack of security at an establishment are often the subjects of long-term financial, physical, and emotional burdens. As a result, a lawsuit may be necessary to collect the compensation that is deserved. If you have been the victim of inadequate security and are considering legal action, it is important to be aware of the burden of proof that Arizona requires. When trying to prove that you were injured as a result of another party’s negligence, it is important to be sure that you have:
- A police report if there was criminal activity
- A witness statement or contact information for any witnesses, if available
- Pictures of the conditions that were unsafe, if applicable

Be sure to file your lawsuit within two years of the date of the incident, in accordance with Arizona’s statute of limitations.
