In California, you may seek compensation for medical costs, time off work, and non-economic damages when negligence proves the link between security failures and harm.
Negligent security is a form of premises liability that holds property owners responsible when their security gaps allow criminal acts or hazardous situations that cause injury.
The main elements include a duty of care, a breach of that duty, proximate causation, and resulting damages. The process typically involves evidence gathering, evaluating insurance options, and pursuing a claim or suit through negotiations or court.

A victim, visitor, tenant, or anyone who suffers an injury due to insufficient security may pursue a negligent security claim.

In California, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is typically two years from the date of injury. Some exceptions apply, so it is important to consult with a lawyer promptly to protect your rights.
You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. In some cases, you may also pursue compensation for future medical costs and diminished earning capacity.
Having a lawyer is not mandatory, but a skilled attorney can help you understand options, preserve evidence, meet deadlines, and negotiate with insurers to maximize recovery.
Fault is determined by evaluating whether the property owner met a reasonable duty of care, whether a breach occurred, and whether the breach caused the injuries. Documentation, witness statements, and evidence like surveillance footage play key roles.
Visitors, guests, and tenants may all have standing in negligent security claims depending on the relationship with the property owner and the location where the incident occurred.
Many cases settle outside of court, but some proceed to trial if a fair resolution cannot be reached. We prepare for trial while pursuing favorable settlements when possible.
Most personal injury and negligent security cases are handled on a contingent fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and legal fees are paid out of any recovery obtained.
