What Evidence Matters in a Negligent Security Case?

Evidence can change quickly after a violent incident. Cameras may overwrite footage, broken equipment can be repaired, and witnesses can become harder to locate. Early preservation can help establish what the property looked like when the incident occurred.

Useful evidence may include surveillance footage, photographs and videos, police and incident reports, witness information, prior complaints, maintenance and repair records, security logs, property policies and procedures, access-control records, communications with management, security company records, and medical records documenting the injuries.
