After a Crime, You Deserve More Than Just Healing—You Deserve Justice

AWD LAW | Negligent Security

If you were the victim of a crime that occurred at a business , hotel, or your apartment complex, you may be suffering from severe physical and emotional trauma, and a deep sense of violation, Your primary concern is your physical and mental health, but you also have legal rights that AWD LAW® can ensure are protected – —and you don’t have to go through this alone..

In Arizona, businesses, hotels, and apartments are required to adequately protect their premises. Property owners may be held liable for negligent security – such as broken locks or poorly lit parking garages – which lead to death or injury. If you or a loved one has suffered due to negligent security, AWD LAW® can help ensure that justice is served and that you receive the maximum recovery to which you are legally entitled.

Property Owners Have a Legal Duty to Keep You Safe

Under Arizona law, property owners are required to take reasonable steps to secure their premises and protect visitors, tenants, and customers from foreseeable criminal acts. When they fail to do so, and someone is hurt as a result, that’s called negligent security—and it’s grounds for a civil lawsuit.

At AWD Law, we help victims hold these negligent property owners accountable.

Examples of Negligent Security Can Include:

  • Broken or missing locks on apartment doors or gates
  • Inadequate lighting in parking garages, stairwells, or hallways
  • Lack of security personnel or surveillance in high-risk areas
  • Failure to address known safety issues or prior criminal activity
  • Broken access systems or unsecured building entrances

Mike Wozniak (and the rest of those that helped at AWD), I wanted to let it be known how appreciative my wife, my girls, my family, and I are of you and your office. You have given us faith in humanity. You did everything you could and then some. People always refer to lawyers as “greedy” and about the money, but, because of you I will always beg to differ. Thank you so much for giving us a fighting chance and allowing us to gain some much needed ground. AWD and Mike Wozniak worked tirelessly to get the best outcome possible with my best interest and my goals ALWAYS in mind. You and your office will always have a special place in my heart.

I had a great experience working with Michael and his team. Very responsive and professional. They kept me up to date on all matters, without me having to contact them for updates. I would recommend them to anyone needing legal assistance.

AWD Law is the best in town! When I was looking for someone to help with family law, they were able to help with everything (finances, custody, division, etc.). The team who helped me through my case was absolutely amazing and never left me wondering what was happening next. Jenny Staskey was so helpful the entire time and provided exactly the advice I needed. There were so many finances that needed to be sorted through for the divorce and Jenny was able to walk me through the entire thing. She is an absolute genius with numbers as well as family law! She was my saving grace during all the proceedings. Everyone was very responsive and prompt with anything that was needed or questions that I had. They are very personable and care about you and your case. This team allowed for peace in a stressful time! I would recommend AWD Law firm, specifically, Jenny Staskey, Zach Markham, and Zach Hope 100% of the time! Thank you!

I highly recommend AWD Law for all of your legal needs!

Mike Wozniak helped me out of a toxic marriage. I am so grateful to him! I feel like he understood and empathized with my situation. He did not allow my ex husband to take advantage of me and did not back down. He always replied to me quickly and answered my questions. I also have to complement his staff who were so professional and caring. Thank you Mike for such a great outcome to my case and for my new happy life!
