Negligent Security Lawyer in Salem County, New Jersey

Negligent security is a premises liability claim under New Jersey law. Property owners, including landlords, businesses, and property managers, have a duty to protect visitors from foreseeable criminal acts by providing adequate security measures such as lighting, locks, cameras, and security personnel.

The legal standard is governed by the New Jersey Comparative Negligence Act (N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.1 et seq.), which applies modified comparative fault — you are barred from recovery if you are more than 50% at fault.
