We Play Hard. We Play Fair.
A violent assault can leave more than physical injuries behind. Many victims are left wondering how such an attack was allowed to happen in a place that should have been safe. In Rochester, Minnesota, and throughout Southeastern Minnesota, businesses and property owners have a duty to take reasonable steps to protect visitors.
At Restovich, Braun & Associates our attorneys have been serving the Rochester community for more than 30 years on personal injury cases to criminal defense to family law issues. As a trusted negligent security attorney in Rochester, Minnesota, and a dedicated premises liability lawyer serving Olmsted County, we investigate whether a property owner failed to act when warning signs were present.
Negligent security is a type of premises liability claim. Property owners must maintain reasonably safe conditions and address foreseeable risks of criminal activity. An inadequate security lawsuit in Minnesota focuses on whether the owner took reasonable precautions in light of the risks.
Security lapses can occur in a variety of public and private spaces, including:
Examples of negligent conditions may include broken locks, nonfunctional cameras, insufficient lighting and untrained staff. These failures can support a claim when combined with evidence that similar incidents had occurred before. Proving foreseeability under Minnesota law often involves showing prior criminal activity or known risks on or near the property.
