Negligent security refers to injuries or crimes that occur due to unsafe conditions related to security on a property. These claims focus on whether the property owner maintained reasonable security to protect visitors. If the owner failed to address hazards like poor lighting or faulty surveillance, you may have a claim.
Anyone harmed by unsafe security conditions on someone else’s property may be eligible to pursue a negligent security claim. This can include tenants, customers, visitors, or guests who were injured due to the property owner’s or manager’s failure to maintain safe premises.
In California, time limits apply for filing claims. Typically, you must start a lawsuit within two years of the injury, but there are exceptions. A prompt consultation helps determine deadlines and the best path forward.
Possible compensation includes medical expenses, rehabilitation, lost wages, and compensation for pain and suffering. In some cases, you may also be entitled to damages for property loss or future medical needs.
Having a lawyer can help gather necessary evidence, assess liability, and negotiate with insurers. An attorney also guides you through the legal process and helps protect your rights.
Collect incident reports, medical records, photos of the scene and injuries, witness contact information, and any security logs or camera footage. Preserve all communications with the property owner or insurer.
Some cases settle before trial, while others proceed to court. We aim for a fair settlement but will prepare for trial if necessary to maximize your outcome.
