We are committed to fighting for the compensation you deserve and advocating for your rights in the California legal system.
Thorough Investigation for a Strong Case
Our team can fully investigate every aspect of your case. We can gather evidence establishing the property owner’s negligence, which led to your injuries. This can include the following:
- Security Camera Footage: We can secure footage documenting the incident or the lack of security measures. Our firm can also review footage from other businesses and surrounding cameras to ensure that we have not missed crucial details.
- Police Reports: Police reports disclose what happened at the scene, witness statements, and additional observations. We can request these reports and find additional witnesses. We seek testimony about people’s views concerning the premises’ safety level and how events unfolded.
- Maintenance Records: Maintenance records can reveal whether the owner failed to maintain certain systems, such as alarms, lighting, or cameras, that should have been used for security purposes. This failure can be essential evidence in your case.
Negotiation for a Just Settlement
Our negotiators can handle all communication with insurance representatives. We can demonstrate negligence in security matters that led to your injuries based on the evidence collected. Our team can closely examine all the facts to establish direct connections between the breach and the physical harm inflicted on you.

Representation When Necessary
We do not give up if we do not reach a fair settlement with the insurance agency. We are fully prepared to represent you in court. We can meticulously plan your case, anticipate opposing arguments, and formulate highly compelling strategies. Our planning can involve conducting extensive legal research, studying relevant decisions that other courts have made, and working with professional witnesses.
Our experienced personal injury litigators can advocate for your rights in court to the judge and jury. We can present your case persuasively, explaining how your injuries connect to the owner’s breach of their duty of care.

FAQs for Negligent Security Lawyers
Q: What Is Negligent Security Law in California?
A: Negligent security law in California revolves around property owners or managers who owe a duty of care to individuals and failed to provide for their responsibilities. In these cases, someone apart from the property owner can sustain injuries caused by the lack of proper security on the owner’s premises.
California follows a pure comparative negligence standard, meaning that if the plaintiff can prove that the owner shares a certain responsibility for the damages incurred, they can hold the property owner accountable for paying their designated share.
Q: Can You Sue for Negligence in California?
A: Yes, you can sue for negligence in California. While it is possible, it can be difficult, depending on your circumstances. Acquiring a skilled attorney’s services can be essential if you seek to sue for negligence because gathering evidence and proving a property owner’s negligence can be difficult.
In negligence cases, you will need to show that:
- The defendant had a duty of care.
- They breached their duty of care.
- Their breach caused your injuries.
- You suffered damages that are directly related to these injuries.
Q: What Is the Statute of Limitations for Negligence in California?
A: There are different statutes of limitations for negligence in California, depending on when you discover your injuries, but it can be wise to seek damages immediately when possible. If you sustain injuries from someone’s negligence, you can seek an attorney’s assistance whenever you are safe and able to do so.
Waiting too long to seek help or attempting to bring your claim alone after you recover from your injuries can cause you to miss your deadline and bar you from receiving compensation for your injuries.
Q: Is CA a Contributory Negligence State?
A: No, California is not a contributory negligence state. It operates on a pure comparative negligence principle. Contributory negligence states have a certain threshold to determine whether a plaintiff can seek damages from another responsible party, but California is not like this.
Being a pure comparative negligence state means that when someone sustains an injury, if a property owner shares even a small percentage of the blame for the incident, the injured person can sue the owner for this small percentage of the damages.

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!
