When Property Owners Fail, We Step In

In Montana, property owners are responsible for keeping their spaces safe. When they fail to fix hazards, ensure proper lighting, or provide adequate security, preventable injuries can occur. At Hartelius Law Center, we help individuals hold negligent property owners accountable and pursue fair compensation for what was lost.

Negligent Security

We stand by victims harmed because property owners failed to provide reasonable and necessary security measures.


Negligent Maintenance

When property owners allow dangerous conditions to go unaddressed—such as broken stairs, cracked sidewalks, or loose handrails—they put visitors at serious risk. We investigate whether the property was inspected and maintained, and work to prove negligence that led to your injury.

Improper Lighting


Inadequate lighting in stairwells, parking lots, walkways, and entryways can cause dangerous falls or even conceal threats to personal safety. If poor lighting contributed to your accident, we’ll gather evidence to support your claim and fight for justice.

Negligent Security

When businesses or property owners fail to provide reasonable security—such as functioning locks, cameras, or personnel—and someone is injured as a result, they may be held responsible. We handle cases involving assaults, break-ins, and other harm that could have been prevented with proper precautions.
