How We Handle Negligent Security Cases in Gaffney
Farmer & Morris Law, PLLC, looks after our clients by relentlessly pursuing the money they need to pick up the pieces following a debilitating injury. We can:
Build Up Your Negligent Security Case
You can only get compensation based on negligent security if you can prove that the liable party’s inadequate security measures constituted a breach of South Carolina’s negligence laws. One of our attorneys can prove this for you by:
- Reviewing a copy of the official report that the police filed about the incident
- Collecting paperwork that shows the extent of your financial losses, including paystubs and medical bills
- Asking witnesses what they remember about the incident or about the state of the property on which the incident occurred
Negotiate for a Settlement for Your Injury in Gaffney
In most cases, we are able to secure an appropriate settlement for our clients by:
- Locating and getting in touch with the liable party’s insurer
- Arranging a time and place to negotiate with the insurer
- Presenting arguments that show you deserve compensation and that any attempts the insurer makes to undermine your case are without merit
- Drawing up the settlement agreement, if and when we reach one
In the rare instances when we have to go to court, we are always happy to represent clients at trial.

Learning How Much Your Gaffney Negligent Security Case is Worth
Do you know exactly how much money you stand to lose because of this incident? Are you aware of the legal formulas that you must use to express your physical and mental suffering in financial terms so you can be fairly compensated?
For most people, the answer to these questions is “no.” This is why trying to sue without a personal injury attorney may not be in your best interests.
Our Lawyers Can Determine What Damages to Seek in Gaffney
Negligent security can lead to severe, life-altering injuries by allowing people with the intent to do harm to go through with their plans to rob and attack others. We can sit down with you to compile a complete list of your injuries, including:
- Pain and suffering or the physical and emotional distress that stems from both the traumatic nature of the event and the injuries themselves
- Disabling injuries, such as bone fractures or traumatic brain injuries
- Loss of independence if you need help from others to care for yourself or your dependents or to maintain your living space
- Medical expenses, such as hospital stays, diagnostic tests, surgery, physical therapy, psychiatric care, or home nursing
- Loss of income if you are temporarily unable to work until your injuries heal (a permanent loss of income would fall under loss of earning capacity)
- Property damage if the incident resulted in your losing use of a valuable object, such as jewelry, an electronic device, or your car
We Can Calculate Your Negligent Security Settlement
Once you have accounted for all of the ways in which the negligent security has affected your life, we can help you assign a dollar value to your losses. For example:
- We can look at medical bills and talk to your doctor to estimate the cost of past and future medical care.
- We can ask an economist to evaluate your case and tell us how your injuries will affect your ability to find and retain work in your chosen field.
- We can talk to your friends and relatives about the physical and mental toll this incident has taken on your health. Then, we can work to “convert” your suffering into a dollar amount that reflects everything you have been through.
Acting Fast to Get Negligent Security Compensation in Gaffney
After an incident involving negligent security, you automatically gain the right to take legal action against the at-fault party. You retain this right for three years following the incident, per S.C. Ann. §15-3-530.
What does this statute of limitations mean for you? Put simply, if you fail to file your case within the deadline, you lose all rights to compensation and to hold the at-fault party responsible for their actions. By contacting one of our Gaffney negligent security lawyers promptly, you can protect your rights.
Evidence in Negligent Security Cases Does Not Last Forever
In addition to concerns about the statute of limitations, you should recognize that the evidence you need to build a strong case will likely start to disappear within weeks or months of the incident. Video footage may be deleted, and paperwork may be misplaced or shredded.
You can preserve your rights by taking timely action following a negligent security injury. The sooner you put your case in our hands, the sooner we can start fighting for a fair outcome in your case.
