Mistakes To Avoid After a Negligent Security

Answer:

We’ve seen a lot of people who have negligent security cases make a lot of the same mistakes. There are common mistakes that people do make when they have a negligent security case in Kansas. One is that they fail to gather all of the evidence. They think that somebody else is going to take care of documenting the scene, taking photographs, gathering all the witnesses’ information. That just isn’t the case, so they don’t get the information either themselves or they don’t hire an attorney fast enough that can help investigate and gather that evidence for them.

Another common mistake that people make is talking to the property owner, the property owner’s lawyer, or their insurance carrier and giving them a statement early on before they have an attorney. That is a huge mistake. The insurance carrier, or the property owner, or attorney at that point is only gathering that information to help them defend against your case. It is not a good idea to talk to them. Make sure that you get an attorney hired who can handle that part of the investigation for you.

Lastly, maybe the biggest mistake we see is people hire the wrong attorney. People who don’t hire the right attorney have problems with the case. People will hire an attorney who doesn’t have the experience with negligent security cases or isn’t a trial attorney that can take their case to trial if necessary. It is important to get the right attorney hired to handle your claim. If you have any questions or concerns about your negligent security case, just give us a call.
