The Phoenix negligent security attorney at Knapp & Roberts represents claims involving acts of negligence, including:

You Deserve Compensation for Negligent Security Injuries

If negligent security caused your or your loved one’s injuries, you could pursue compensation for the losses you suffered. However, insurance companies will use the law to their advantage. Without someone investigating your case independently, you could receive a much lower settlement offer than you deserve.

Awards that the Phoenix negligent security attorneys at Knapp & Roberts has recovered for clients include:

  • Economic damages: State laws provide for this compensation when suffering from objective and quantifiable losses, incluing medical expenses, lost wages, loss of future earning potential, and property damage. You can also recover prescription drug costs, travel to doctors’ appointments, and make accessibility modifications if required.
  • Non-economic damages: These damages compensate you for more subjective types of injury, such as physical pain and psychological suffering, mental anguish, and lost enjoyment of life. Your attorney may ask you to maintain a pain and suffering journal since your account is admissible as evidence.
  • Punitive damages: Punitive damages are not for compensating victims or their families for injuries. Instead, they are an additional punishment for offenders deemed to have committed highly egregious acts. Our legal team will inform you if we believe your case is a good candidate for demanding punitive damages, although a rare occurrence.
