Negligent Security

Injured Due to Negligent Security?At Pezon Law, we represent individuals harmed because a property owner failed to provide adequate security. Whether your injury occurred during an assault, robbery, or other criminal act on poorly lit or unsecured premises, property owners have a legal duty to keep visitors safe. When they fail to take reasonable precautions—like hiring security personnel, installing cameras, or maintaining proper lighting—the results can be devastating. We’re here to hold negligent property owners accountable and help you pursue the compensation you deserve for your physical, emotional, and financial losses.

Negligent security incidents can lead to serious injuries, emotional trauma, and lasting fear—especially when they could have been prevented with proper safety measures. At Pezon Law, we work diligently to uncover how and why the incident occurred, gather critical evidence, and pursue full compensation for what you’ve endured. This may include medical expenses, emotional distress, lost wages, and future care needs. Whether we’re negotiating a settlement or taking your case to court, our mission is to hold negligent property owners accountable and help you move forward with the justice and peace of mind you deserve.

Common Cases

Apartment Complex Assaults

Assaults in apartment complexes often happen when property owners fail to provide adequate lighting, working locks, or security patrols. Tenants and guests can be left vulnerable to serious harm. At Pezon Law, we investigate the property’s security measures, prove negligence, and fight for compensation to support your recovery. Your safety should never be compromised—and we’re here to protect your rights.

Parking Lot & Garage Attacks

Poorly lit or unsupervised parking areas are common locations for robberies and physical attacks. These incidents can be prevented with proper lighting, cameras, or security personnel. At Pezon Law, we gather evidence, hold property owners accountable, and fight for the compensation you deserve. If you were harmed due to lack of security, we’re here to help you seek justice.

Violence at Hotels or Nightclubs

Hotels, nightclubs, and other public venues must provide a safe environment for guests. Failing to control crowds, check entrances, or hire trained security can result in serious injury or assault. At Pezon Law, we take swift action to prove negligence and pursue damages for your physical and emotional suffering. Your safety matters—and we’ll fight to make sure it’s taken seriously.
