1. Failing to Report the Incident Immediately

After a violent crime or injury on someone else's property, many victims don't report the incident to management or law enforcement.

Why this matters:

Official reports provide documentary evidence of the event. Without them, it becomes harder to prove exactly what happened or tie the injury to negligence in security.

Tip: Always report the injury to the property owner and file a police report.

2. Posting About It on Social Media

Posting details, pictures, or commentary on social media can jeopardize your case. Insurance adjusters and defense attorneys monitor posts to find statements that weaken your claim.

Tip: Avoid posting anything related to the incident until your case is resolved.

3. Waiting Too Long to Speak With an Attorney

Connecticut has specific statutes of limitations for injury claims. Missing deadlines can permanently bar your ability to seek compensation.

Inadequate security cases are often more complex than standard auto accidents — you must secure evidence fast.

4. Accepting a Quick Settlement

Insurance companies may offer quick payouts right after the incident. These offers are rarely enough to cover full damages, especially long-term medical costs.

Tip: Don't sign any releases or accept settlements without legal advice.

5. Not Preserving Evidence

Evidence can disappear quickly:

• Surveillance footage is often overwritten within days.

• Witnesses forget details over time.

• Physical evidence (lighting conditions, broken locks) can get repaired.

A lawyer will send preservation letters and begin evidence collection immediately.
