Negligent security means the property owner failed to provide reasonable safety measures, which could have prevented an assault, theft, or injury. The injured party may pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. In some cases, several parties may share responsibility for the unsafe conditions.
Anyone harmed by unsafe premises may have a claim, including residents, visitors, customers, or guests. The specific liable party could be the property owner, manager, or an operator responsible for security.
Statutes of limitations vary by case and jurisdiction. In California, there are time limits to file a civil claim, so it’s important to consult a lawyer promptly to protect your rights.
Damages commonly include medical expenses, lost earnings, and compensation for pain and suffering. Some cases may also recover for future medical costs or rehabilitation needs.
Having a lawyer helps ensure deadlines are met, evidence is properly gathered, and negotiations or litigation are conducted effectively to maximize your outcome.
Bring any incident reports, medical records, photos or videos, witness contact information, and details about the location and timing of the incident.
Fault is determined by evaluating duties, breaches, and how the breach led to your injuries. Investigators, experts, and the legal team review security measures and the circumstances of the incident.
Many cases settle before trial, but some proceed to court if a fair resolution cannot be reached. Our team will discuss options and best strategies for your situation.
Many negligent security claims are handled on a contingency basis, meaning legal fees are paid from a portion of any recovery. You won’t owe fees unless we achieve a settlement or verdict.
