Are there any recent negligent security cases that can be used as precedents?

Yes, there have been a few recent negligent security cases in Hawaii that have set legal precedents. In June 2018, the Hawaii Supreme Court ruled in favor of a woman who was injured in an attack at a parking lot near her workplace. The attack occurred because the parking lot was not adequately lit or secured, and the court found that the parking lot owners had been negligent in providing adequate security. In another case from February 2020, a jury awarded a hotel guest over $500,000 in damages after the guest fell in a dark stairwell at the hotel. It was determined that the hotel was negligent in not providing proper lighting, signage, or security, and this set a new legal precedent in the state. In both cases, the courts found that the property owners had a responsibility to provide adequate security for the safety of their guests, tenants, or customers. These cases can serve as important precedents for other negligent security cases going forward.
