Negligent security occurs when a property owner fails to provide reasonable safety measures, such as proper lighting, surveillance, or security personnel, and someone is harmed as a result. This area of law focuses on holding responsible parties accountable for unsafe conditions.
Liability can extend to store owners, landlords, property managers, security contractors, and other parties who owe a duty of care. The specific liable entities depend on the facts and evidence in the case.
The time limit for filing varies by state. In California, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years, with some exceptions. Early action can help preserve evidence.
Damages may include medical expenses, lost wages, future care needs, and pain and suffering. The amount depends on liability and the extent of injuries.
Having a lawyer helps evaluate liability, collect evidence, and negotiate with insurers. A first meeting is often offered at no charge to discuss options.
Liability is shown by proving the four elements: duty, breach, causation, and damages. We examine the security measures, maintenance records, and incident reports to determine responsibility.
Recoverable damages typically include economic losses such as medical bills and lost income, as well as non-economic losses like pain and suffering. Punitive damages are uncommon in negligence cases.
Bring any notes about what happened, medical records and bills, photographs, witness contact information, and any correspondence with property owners or insurers.
Most cases settle before trial, but some may go to court if liability is disputed or if a fair settlement cannot be reached.
We typically work on a contingency basis, which means you pay nothing up front and the fee is a percentage of any money recovered.
