Accidental Injury Due to Negligent Security
There are certain places and times in which a property owner provides a security staff to prevent injuries. Even so, in some instances serious injuries or even deaths may occur. There are some public gatherings in which a security force is seen as a necessary addition.
- Rock concerts — Security staff can work to prevent rushing the stage or crush injuries when the doors open. Some wrist injuries may occur when security guards pull people over a railing to prevent trampling.
- Sports venues — Boxing matches in particular are known for fights breaking out among the guests.
- Bars/pubs/liquor establishments — Places serving liquor often have bouncers or other security staff so they can keep a peaceful atmosphere as well as their dram shop license.
$500,000 received by client who was shot in the chest at a concert hall when security personnel negligently allowed the perpetrator to bring a gun into the facility. Our expert argued that it should have been anticipated that violence might occur at this concert and should have screened for weapons. The plaintiff sustained a pneumothorax and underwent surgery to have the bullet removed and the lung reinflated.
