Costa Mesa Negligent Security Lawyer
Costa Mesa Negligent Security Attorney
The aftermath of an injury caused by inadequate security can feel drawn out and impossible to get past. Medical bills can pile up, lost wages can put a strain on your finances, and emotional trauma can linger, leaving you unable to feel like you did before the incident. You should not face your challenges alone after someone commits a crime against you. A Costa Mesa negligent security lawyer from Easton & Easton, LLP, can fight to recover the compensation you deserve. Our team can assist you with every step of your case.
Case Investigation
Our firm can conduct an investigation to uncover the truth. We seek to find everything necessary to strengthen your case. Our process can involve utilizing our resources to perform tasks that untrained professionals cannot or do not have permission to do.
Security cameras are crucial evidence in negligent security cases. Even if the negligent property owner lacked functioning cameras, we can ask law enforcement to provide footage from the surrounding area. Security footage can usually capture the incident or the lack of security measures. In some cases, footage from surrounding businesses or public transportation can help with this.
Skilled Medical Assessments
We know how much injuries can impact your life. Therefore, alongside medical professionals, we can determine the extent of your injury as well as its medical costs, which may include:
- Cost of Treatment: We can examine doctor charges and expenses incurred while in hospitals and rehabilitation centers. Our team can also determine the full extent of the costs related to your health condition, both today and in the future. That way, you can have a complete idea of your monetary needs for medical services going forward, including billing statements, treatment plans, and estimated future costs.
- Medical Documentation: These reports contain details concerning your diagnosis, the treatment course plan, and a prognosis of how your doctor expects you to recover. This evidence is crucial in showing the gravity of the harm caused. Then, we can relate it to the crime. Our firm can ensure that all relevant health records are gathered for closer scrutiny and analysis to have strong evidence supporting the full extent of your medical requirements.
Settlement Negotiations and Litigation
Our negotiators in Costa Mesa can handle all communications with the insurance company representing the property owner. We can start by negotiating ruthlessly. Our main goal would be to get you fair compensation. When resolving your claim, we can refuse any offers that do not include full payment for expenses. Medication, lost earnings, pain and suffering, and emotional distress, among other damages, can be crucial to fully recovering what you lost.
Our team has experience negotiating settlements and understands how insurance companies operate. We can make every effort possible to guarantee the protection of your rights.
We can confidently represent you in court if we cannot settle. The evidence we obtained during our investigation can contribute to a solid case for the property owner’s negligence. We can include an exhaustive review of security camera footage, police reports, witness statements, and maintenance records to identify all security lapses and establish why these gaps led to your injury.
FAQs
Q: Is California a Pure Negligence State?
A: No, California is not a pure negligence state. California is a pure comparative negligence state. This designation means that the jury will determine each party’s negligence percentage when awarding damages to either party. For example, if a jury finds the property owner more than half at fault, you will receive that percentage of the total damages.
Q: What Part of Negligence Is Hardest to Prove?
A: One of the most complex elements to prove in a negligent security case is causation. Establishing a clear connection between the lack of adequate security and your injuries can be extremely difficult. For instance, proving that malfunctioning security cameras and poor lighting led to your assault in a parking lot can cause issues when attempting to persuade a jury. You should not try to prove negligent security causation without a skilled personal injury attorney’s help because you can waste time and money.
Q: How Do You Prove Legal Negligence?
A: To prove legal negligence in a Costa Mesa personal injury case, you will need an attorney to help establish vital case aspects. In these cases, your burden of proof includes first proving duty of care. Duty of care states that the property owner has a legal responsibility to provide reasonable security measures for people based on the property type and foreseeable crime in the area. Additional elements that you must prove are breach of duty, injury causation from the inadequate security, and the extent of your damages.
Q: What Are the Pleading Requirements for Negligence in California?
A: The pleading requirements for negligent security claims in California involve filing a formal complaint outlining your case facts. Your complaint will detail:
- The incident’s time and location
- The property owner’s information
- The nature of the security breach
- How the breach caused your injuries
- The damages you seek

Retaining Easton and Easton was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! From the initial consultation to our final meeting, they were nothing short of exceptional. I was forced to retain their services after firing my previous attorney for not handling the case properly. I dealt with Gabriel and Brian (partner) exclusively throughout the case. They did as promised and were great communicators throughout the entire process. I will recommend them to anyone I know going through a personal injury case. They were ultimately able to untangle the mess caused by my previous lawyer and get a result that I was extremely happy with. Their staff is exceptional as well and provided top notch customer service. Amera was also extremely helpful and easy to deal with as well.
I was in a pretty bad car accident and decided to have Easton & Easton represent me, Travis Easton to be specific. Travis Easton and his paralegal made the whole process effortless. They were so understanding and helpful! The entire thing was a gigantic mess, yet Travis managed to make it run like clockwork. I would HIGHLY recommend Easton & Easton! If you are ever in need of a personal defense attorney Easton & Easton is the firm to represent you!
