Who Is Responsible for Negligent Security in Dallas?
Various parties play a role in purchasing, installing, and maintaining security systems in places like banks, apartment buildings, stores, and schools. It is, therefore, a good idea to let us investigate your case before you file a lawsuit against anyone. This way, you can be sure that you are requesting compensation from the right party.
The target of your suit might be:
- The property owner who should have been familiar with potential hazards on their property (e.g., unlit areas) and taken measures to reduce or eliminate those hazards
- The security system manufacturer, which has to protect customers by ensuring the quality of their products and quickly recalling any product they learn is potentially unsafe
- The security system maintenance team, which has to carefully inspect security equipment and address possible issues that could lead to malfunctions
Multiple Liable Parties in Negligent Security Suits
Say that a property owner installs an inadequate number of cameras to properly monitor their parking lot. At the same time, the owner is unaware that these cameras are defective in some way because the camera manufacturer has failed to issue a warning or recall.
In a case like this, who is liable for the resulting injury: the owner who installed too few cameras or the manufacturer who kept their product’s flaw quiet? The answer could well be both. If we uncover evidence against multiple parties, Farmer & Morris Law, PLLC, can file cases against both (or all) of them on your behalf.
