Injured Due to Landlord Negligent Security? Massachusetts Legal Guidance

Negligent security cases and landlord liability. Good afternoon. My name is Neil Burns. I’m an attorney, and along with my partner Roshan Jain, we represent victims of legal malpractice and personal injury.

I’ve been asked to talk today about cases where negligent security by a landlord has caused an injury. These cases can involve hotels, property managers, residential landlords, workplaces, and other locations where someone is responsible for another person’s safety and security and has breached that responsibility.

This can involve a wide range of potential defendants. Unfortunately, these cases often involve serious injuries, especially injuries that occur in a person’s home. We’ve handled cases involving injuries at shopping malls and similar locations, as well as injuries at workplaces where required security measures were not in place.

Most places do provide appropriate security. However, many properties also have specific rules and regulations. During discovery in these cases, we often find that the property owner or manager failed to follow their own rules and procedures for keeping tenants, occupants, or lawful visitors safe.

If you’ve been injured and the fault lies with someone responsible for your safety—such as a landlord or property owner—call Burns & Jain. We want to help you, and we will help you. We have experience representing victims in these types of cases.

I’ve been practicing law in Massachusetts for 40 years and have been located at 6 Beacon Street for 38 years. We bring a lot of experience to these cases. We’re tenacious, we’re effective, and we care about our clients.

If you’ve been injured, or if a loved one has been injured, give us a call. It’s a free initial consultation. Call 617-227-7423. Thank you.
