A negligent security claim asks whether a property owner owed a duty to protect visitors and whether that duty was breached. If harm occurred due to inadequate security measures, you may have a legal remedy. Factors include the type of property, security policies in place, and available evidence.
Property owners, managers, and operators may share responsibility for negligent security. Security contractors or tenants can also be liable if their actions or omissions contributed to the injury.
In California the general statute of limitations for personal injury is two years. There are exceptions based on the situation. It is best to start early to preserve evidence and protect your rights.
Compensation can cover medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. The exact amount depends on the specifics of your case and the impact of the injury.
While not required, having a lawyer helps manage complex evidence, deadlines, and negotiations with insurers.
A settlement results from negotiations and evidence presented. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, the case may proceed to trial where a judge or jury decides liability and damages.
Bring incident reports, photos, medical records, witness contact information, and any communications with the property owner or insurer.
Many negligent security matters settle out of court, but some cases go to mediation or trial depending on the evidence and objectives.
If the incident occurred at a shopping center or similar venue, the owner’s duty to secure the premises applies. We review all security measures to determine liability and the best path forward.
