Negligent security refers to situations where a property owner fails to take reasonable steps to protect visitors from harm.

California generally requires filing within two years for personal injury claims, but deadlines vary by case and by date of discovery. It is important to consult an attorney promptly to protect your rights.
Possible compensation includes medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering. In some cases, future costs and lost earning capacity may also be considered.
While you can file on your own, a lawyer can help navigate complex statutes, deadlines, and evidence requirements. An attorney can also handle negotiations and case preparation.
Collect incident reports, medical records, photos, witness contact information, and any surveillance footage. Preserve evidence and keep notes about dates and times.
Many negligent security claims settle before trial, but some cases proceed to court. We prepare for both possibilities and will discuss options with you.
Liability often depends on foreseeability, control of the premises, and the reasonableness of the security measures in place. We assess all relevant factors in your case.
Costs can include filing fees, expert costs, and attorney fees. In California, many personal injury cases pursue contingency agreements, meaning you owe nothing unless a recovery is obtained.
Contact an attorney as soon as possible after an incident to protect evidence, preserve rights, and discuss next steps.
