Negligent Security Facts

Negligent security laws in this state hold property owners accountable for keeping their properties safe for visitors. This includes steps like repairing potholes in a parking lot or promptly cleaning up spills, but it also includes security measures. Suppose you were assaulted on a property that lacked these security measures.

Innocent Californians become victims of crime every day. In 2018 alone, the California Department of Justice reported nearly 370,000 victims of assault. Sadly, adequate security could have prevented many of these crimes.

Under California premise law, property owners must keep others safe from danger, including dangers such as criminal assault and battery. Those who fail to implement adequate safety measures or warn visitors of dangerous conditions can be liable for negligent security.

Additionally, under California statute, landowners are negligent when they fail to take practical steps to secure their property against predictable criminal acts by third parties. If there has been a history of assaults, muggings, or bar fights in the establishment of the surrounding area, property owners may be obligated to provide enhanced security. The threat of criminal activity in these cases could be considered foreseeable.
