Negligence at ATMs increases the likelihood of violent crime. That’s why banks use security lighting, locks and 9-1-1 links to keep automated teller machine areas safe for users.
If you’ve been robbed or assaulted at an ATM, what can you do to prove negligent security? Evaluate details of the event with your attorney:
- Note or recall the exact time of day.
- Recall whether lights were on.
- Note or revisit the scene immediately to check for sightline obstructions near the ATM.
The ATM owner must have the proper level of security for the time of day. Obstructions such as overgrown shrubbery, dumpsters or vehicles that could obscure criminals or the view of witnesses could legitimize a negligence lawsuit.
