If you or someone you love was hurt in an assault on another person’s property and now lives with a spinal cord injury, you may have a negligent security claim. New Mexico law can hold a property owner responsible when a failure to use ordinary care to keep the premises safe leads to a visitor being injured by a third person, where the risk of that third person’s injury was foreseeable. This page explains how these claims work in Albuquerque and Bernalillo County, what they can cover, and why timing matters. It’s written for anyone weighing whether to speak with a spinal cord injury negligent security lawyer in Albuquerque.<\/p>\n

What a Negligent Security Claim Means After a Spinal Cord Injury<\/h2>\n

A negligent security claim focuses on the property owner’s own duty to protect visitors, not only on the person who attacked you. New Mexico’s jury instruction says an owner or occupant must use ordinary care to keep the premises safe for visitors (UJI 13-1309<\/a>). The commentary to UJI 13-1320<\/a> states that the owner’s duty to protect visitors arises from a foreseeable risk that a third person will injure a visitor.<\/p>\n

The key question is what the property owner knew or should have known, and what it did about the risk.<\/p>\n

Spinal cord injuries raise the stakes. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke<\/a> explains that the spinal cord is protected by three layers of tissue and cerebrospinal fluid. Injuries can be partial or complete, and they can affect movement, feeling, and breathing. Those effects often mean medical needs and costs that continue long after the first hospital stay.<\/p>\n\n

When a Negligent Security Claim May Apply<\/h2>\n

A claim may apply when a security gap was foreseeable and connected to the attack that caused your injury. Several facts usually matter.<\/p>\n
