Common Mistakes That Can Ruin a Negligent Security Claim

Answer:

Out of all of the mistakes that we’ve seen clients make regarding their cases, specifically in negligent security cases, is saying too much or talking in a way that’s contrary to the claim that you’re making. We see this happen a lot on social media – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, SnapChat, etc. We always advise people to be careful what you’re saying and who you’re saying it to.

I’ve also seen people make the mistake of being retaliatory toward the company, retaliatory toward the security guard. You have to stay away from all of these things because these things could take away from your case, especially if it goes to trial. Juries and judges generally don’t like to see that kind of stuff, so make sure that before you’re doing something, as it relates to your negligent security claim, that you’re talking with your attorney about it, so that we’re making sure that your claims are preserved. Before you scratch that itch, call your lawyer, talk to him, so that we can make sure that you’re not becoming a hindrance to yourself as it relates to your negligent security claim.
