If a land or property owner fails to protect a person from forseeable crimes on or near the premises, then the owner may be guilty of negligent security. 

Negligent security can occur even if the person on the property is trespassing. However, most negligent security claims takes place when the person is a guest on the property and sustains an injury because of a forseeable crime. 

If you or anyone you know has been injured because of negligent security, contact the Iowa personal injury lawyers of LaMarca & Landry at 877-327-2600.
