Security Negligence by San Diego Property Owners

San Diego Injury Attorney

Property owners and building managers have an obligation to maintain reasonably safe premises for tenants, customers and visitors. In some situations, this may include implementing appropriate security measures, whether this is accomplished by hiring security personnel, installing surveillance and alarm systems or ensuring that locking mechanisms are properly installed. Reasonable security measures can do much to deter or prevent crime, thus protecting lawful visitors from harm. When a property owner breaches his or her duty to provide reasonable safety measures, and someone is attacked or assaulted and injured as a result, the injured party may have grounds for a premises liability claim against the property owner.

Cases of this kind will vary dramatically depending on the type of property where the incident occurred, whether there was a history of crime in the area or at the property and other factors. That is why it is important to work with a San Diego injury lawyer who can thoroughly analyze the matter from every angle to determine: a) whether the property owner can be held accountable, and b) how to best approach a lawsuit against this individual or entity.

Representing Victims of Assaults and Attacks Due to Inadequate Security Measures

San Diego property owners cannot always be held accountable for crimes that occur on their property. If there has been a pattern of criminal activity on the property or the property in question is particularly susceptible to criminal activity due to the nature of the business conducted there, however, exceptions may apply. As a personal injury lawyer who is focused on getting results for his clients, Mark Bush is committed to thoroughly investigating each client's case to determine whether the property owner violated his or her obligation to maintain safe premises. This may include investigating past incidents of violence, theft or other crimes as well as carefully analyzing the circumstances that led to the client's injuries.

With the help of security experts, private investigators and expert witnesses in forensics and criminal activity, Attorney Bush may be able to effectively prove that it was negligence that allowed the criminal act to happen to you. Our firm takes on cases of this kind that are related to assault, rape, theft, robbery, sexual assault, battery and murder.
