Greenwood Village Negligent Security Claims
McCormick & Murphy are Greenwood Village negligent security lawyers for people hurt in an assault where lighting, locks, or security were part of the danger. We file in Arapahoe County Justice Center.
A crime committed by another person is not automatically the property owner's fault. But when you are an invitee on someone's property, the law can ask whether the owner knew or should have known about a danger on the property and failed to use reasonable care to address it. That inquiry can include lighting, locks, staffing, or security measures when the facts support it.
These cases show up at office parks along Orchard Road, retail centers near Belleview Avenue, apartment complexes off University Boulevard, and parking areas serving businesses throughout Greenwood Village. The common thread is a gap between what a reasonable owner should have done to secure the property and what was actually in place when the attack happened.
We do not claim that one prior incident automatically creates liability, and we do not claim that a property owner insures visitor safety. What we do is investigate whether the specific conditions at that property, combined with what the owner knew or should have known, fell short of reasonable care.
Evidence in a Greenwood Village Negligent Security Case
Negligent security cases depend on documenting the property as it actually was. That means photos of lighting conditions, broken or missing locks, gates left open, and any security cameras or staffing that existed or should have existed. We also look at whether the owner had any record of prior incidents or complaints that would have put them on notice of a problem.
Medical records from providers such as HCA HealthONE Swedish or Sky Ridge Medical Center help establish the injuries you suffered. We also work to preserve incident reports, maintenance records, and any surveillance footage before it is lost or overwritten, since property owners are not always motivated to keep that evidence available.
- Photos of the scene, including lighting, locks, and entry points
- Names and contact information for any witnesses
- Any police report filed after the incident
- Medical records documenting your injuries and treatment
- Copies of any prior complaints you or others made about security

What Greenwood Village Clients Ask After a Negligent Security Injury

Can a property owner be liable if someone else committed the crime against me?
It depends on the facts. If you were an invitee on the property, the law can look at whether the owner knew or should have known about a danger and failed to use reasonable care to address it, which can include lighting, locks, or security staffing.
Does one prior crime on the property automatically make the owner liable?
No. A single prior incident does not automatically create liability. We look at the full picture, including what the owner knew, what steps were reasonable, and whether those steps were taken.
Is a property owner responsible for guaranteeing my safety?
No. Owners are not insurers of visitor safety. The question is whether they used reasonable care given what they knew or should have known about the property's risks.
What kind of evidence matters most in these cases?
Evidence about the property conditions at the time of the attack matters most, including lighting, locks, cameras, and any prior complaints. Police reports and medical records also help establish what happened and how you were hurt.
