Fighting For Negligent Security Victims in North Dakota

When property owners fail to maintain their responsibility to keep premises secure, individuals can face serious injuries. If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to inadequate security measures—such as poor lighting, a lack of surveillance, or unsecured entrances—working with a negligent security lawyer in Fargo can help you understand your rights and next steps. At Fay & Associates, our team provides support and guidance to individuals impacted by negligent security. We help you pursue solutions that prioritize your recovery and well-being while protecting your legal interests.

Negligent security cases often arise when a business or landlord fails to address known hazards or ignores repeated incidents. Fargo’s growing neighborhoods and active business districts bring opportunities but also require property owners to implement safety measures that meet current standards. Apartment complexes, parking garages, and hospitality venues in Fargo face unique challenges—and rigorous city expectations—regarding safety and access control. Our experienced team recognizes these factors and tailors its approach to cases involving properties in Fargo and the surrounding Cass County area.

FAQs About Negligent Security

What situations might be considered negligent security?

Common examples include poor lighting in parking lots, broken locks, a lack of security cameras, and failing to check building entrances. When these or similar issues lead to assault or theft, the property owner may have failed in their duty.

Who can file a negligent security claim?

Individuals lawfully present on another’s property who suffer harm because of inadequate security can bring a claim. Trespassers usually do not qualify, except in limited situations under North Dakota law.

What damages can be recovered in these cases?

Available compensation may cover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other direct losses related to the incident. Every outcome depends on the unique facts of the case and the injuries involved.

How long do I have to file a negligent security lawsuit in North Dakota?

The law sets specific deadlines for filing, known as statutes of limitations. For most negligent security cases, you generally must file suit within six years of the incident, though certain circumstances may affect this period. Timely action helps protect your rights.

Do I need to prove criminal charges were filed against an aggressor?

You do not need a criminal conviction to bring a civil claim for negligent security. The focus in civil court is whether the property owner failed in their legal duty to provide reasonable security under the circumstances.
