PENNSYLVANIA
NEW JERSEY
No one expects to become the victim of an assault, robbery, or violent crime while visiting a store, hotel, or apartment complex. Yet when property owners fail to provide adequate security, these preventable attacks can shatter lives. Tucker Law represents victims of negligent security across Pennsylvania — fighting to hold property owners accountable and deliver justice for those they failed to protect.
Negligent security is a branch of premises liability law that applies when someone is injured because a property owner failed to take reasonable precautions to prevent foreseeable criminal acts.
Property owners — including landlords, hotel operators, retailers, and event venues — are legally obligated to provide basic safety measures, such as:
When they neglect these duties and a crime occurs, victims can pursue a civil claim for damages — even if the criminal is separately prosecuted. Tucker Law investigates both the security failures and the criminal act to build a powerful case for compensation.
Negligent security can happen virtually anywhere the public is invited or where tenants have a reasonable expectation of safety:
Tucker Law examines every aspect of property ownership and management — from maintenance contracts to prior incident reports — to expose patterns of neglect.
Victims of negligent security may endure both physical injuries and psychological trauma resulting from preventable criminal acts such as assaults, robberies, shootings, or sexual attacks. Common injuries include:
Our firm ensures that all injuries — visible and invisible — are fully documented, and that the emotional toll of violence is reflected in your claim.
Winning a negligent security case requires showing that the crime was foreseeable and that the property owner failed to act reasonably to prevent it. Tucker Law proves negligence by establishing that:
We work with law enforcement, security consultants, and expert witnesses to connect the dots — proving that better security would likely have prevented the attack.
Victims of negligent security deserve compensation for the full extent of their suffering and loss. Tucker Law pursues:
If the property owner or business ignored known dangers, falsified safety records, or repeatedly failed to correct hazards, Tucker Law seeks punitive damages to hold them accountable and deter future negligence.
Negligent security cases require a combination of legal experience, investigative skill, and compassion for victims of trauma. Our approach includes:
We listen to your story, review police reports, and identify all potentially liable parties — from landlords to management companies and contractors.
We act quickly to obtain surveillance footage, maintenance records, crime-log data, and prior incident reports before they’re altered or destroyed.
We partner with security experts, criminologists, and lighting or building engineers to evaluate what reasonable precautions should have been taken.
We coordinate with your doctors and therapists to capture both the physical and psychological impact of the incident.
Tucker Law engages insurers and defense attorneys aggressively, always prepared to take your case to trial if settlement offers fall short.
Throughout, our firm provides transparent updates, trauma-informed communication, and unwavering advocacy for your recovery.
Yes. A criminal conviction punishes the offender but does not compensate you. Tucker Law’s civil case targets the property owner’s negligence to recover your financial and emotional losses.
Owners are still responsible for providing basic safety measures. We evaluate the overall security environment and whether reasonable precautions were ignored.
In Pennsylvania, most injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the incident, though prompt investigation is crucial to preserve evidence.
Depending on the facts, liable parties may include property owners, management companies, private security firms, or event organizers.
No. We work on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing unless we win.
