If you were assaulted or attacked because a property lacked proper security, you have rights.
Property owners must protect people on their premises. When they fail to provide adequate lighting, locks, or security, violent crimes happen. The Brinton Firm helps people recover for assault injuries caused by negligent security.
Understanding Negligent Security Claims
Assaulted or Injured Due to Inadequate Security? You May Be Entitled to Compensation
Apartments, parking lots, hotels, and commercial properties have a duty to provide reasonable security. When broken gates, missing cameras, or inadequate lighting allow a violent crime to occur, the property owner can be held responsible. If you were robbed, assaulted, or attacked on someone else’s property, you may have a claim. The Brinton Firm helps people recover for injuries caused by negligent security in Los Angeles and throughout Southern California.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is negligent security and how does it apply to rental properties?
Negligent security occurs when a property owner fails to provide adequate security measures — working locks, lighting, security cameras, or security personnel — and a tenant or visitor is assaulted or robbed as a result. Landlords in California have a duty to protect tenants from foreseeable criminal acts.
Can I sue my landlord if I was assaulted in my apartment building?
Yes, if the assault was foreseeable and the landlord failed to take reasonable security precautions. Evidence of prior criminal activity in the area, broken locks, inadequate lighting, or ignored security complaints can all support a negligent security claim.
What evidence is needed to prove a negligent security claim in California?
Key evidence includes police reports of the incident and prior crimes at the property, photos of broken locks or inadequate lighting, security camera footage, maintenance records, and any prior complaints made to the landlord about security issues.
How long do I have to file a negligent security claim in California?
Generally two years from the date of the assault or injury under California’s personal injury statute of limitations. Contact an attorney promptly — evidence such as security footage is often overwritten within days.
