Property owners have a duty to provide adequate security for everyone invited onto their land whether they are a private homeowner or landowner, or rent the property as a business. If a property owner does not take the necessary steps to adequately secure their premises, in which they owe a duty to their guests to protect against foreseeable criminal attacks, which then results in harm to you or a loved one, that owner may be civilly responsible for those injuries. Negligent security claims are a form of premises liability claims. Premises liability refers to the area of law that gives all landowners and business owners a legal duty to protect visitors and customers on their land from foreseeable harm. Arkansas Law recognizes three categories of visitors. Each of these categories has its own legal definitions and protections. Most instances of negligent security cases will involve people who are on land with the owner’s permission. These people are called invitees.
