Representing Oklahoma Victims of Inadequate Security
Koller Baker & Associates has extensive experience handling cases where individuals were harmed due to negligent security measures. These cases often involve crimes such as assault, robbery, and other violent acts that could have been prevented if the property owner or institution had implemented reasonable safety measures.
We represent clients in cases involving:
Shopping centers and parking lots:
Lack of visible security presence or failure to address known criminal activity.
Apartment complexes:
Failing to maintain secure entrances, lighting, or surveillance systems.
Schools, daycare centers, and nursing homes:
Failing to protect vulnerable individuals through proper supervision or security protocols.
Hotels and motels:
Neglecting guest safety by allowing unmonitored access or ignoring prior security concerns.
Our team understands the nuances of inadequate security claims and works diligently to hold negligent parties accountable for their inaction.
Investigating Negligent Security Claims
When a crime occurs due to inadequate security, a thorough investigation is essential to determine liability. At Koller Baker & Associates, we evaluate all aspects of the property owner’s or institution’s responsibility, including:
The absence of reasonable safety measures like lighting, cameras, or security personnel.
Prior reports of criminal activity in the area.
Lapses in protocol, such as broken locks or unmonitored access points.
Failure to act on known threats or previous incidents.
By gathering evidence, consulting security experts, and reviewing safety policies, we build a compelling case to show how negligence directly contributed to the harm suffered by our clients.
Fighting for Justice and Compensation
Victims of crimes caused by inadequate security may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses and ongoing care.
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity.
- Emotional trauma and pain and suffering.
- Loss of quality of life.
At Koller Baker & Associates, we’re dedicated to securing the resources our clients need to recover and rebuild their lives. Our experienced attorneys will guide you through every step of the legal process with compassion and determination.
