Negligent security is a claim that a business failed to protect people from a crime it should have expected. When an assault at a business causes a brain injury, a claim may be possible, depending on the facts. This guide explains how these cases work in Albuquerque and across New Mexico. You’ll learn what the business must do, what evidence matters, what a claim can cover, and what happens next.<\/p>\n

What a Negligent Security Claim Is When an Assault Causes a Brain Injury<\/h2>\n

A negligent security claim says a property owner or business did not take reasonable steps against a foreseeable crime. It falls under premises liability, the broader set of rules for injuries that happen on someone else’s property.<\/p>\n

New Mexico’s visitor rule says an owner or occupant must use ordinary care to keep the premises safe for visitors (UJI 13-1309 NMRA<\/a>). A related instruction says that duty covers harm from the foreseeable conduct of a third party, including criminal conduct (UJI 13-1320 NMRA<\/a>).<\/p>\n

In plain terms, the business must take reasonable steps against attacks it could reasonably predict.<\/p>\n

These assaults happen in many places around Albuquerque. Common settings include bars and restaurants, parking lots and parking garages, retail stores, and apartment or commercial grounds. Customers, visitors, and employees can all be hurt.<\/p>\n

The injured person is the first person a claim affects. If that person cannot yet describe what happened, a family member often helps gather facts and speak with the firm on their behalf.<\/p>\n\n
