Negligent Security Lawyers in Clovis, California

If you or someone you love was physically harmed due to negligent security or the unreasonable use of force by a security guard in Clovis, California, you may have a valid claim under California law. Property owners and guard services have a legal duty to take appropriate steps to protect people from predictable criminal activity and to ensure that security personnel act within the law.

I represent injured victims throughout Clovis and Fresno County who were hurt because security was insufficient, mismanaged, or dangerously aggressive.

What Is Negligent or Inadequate Security in Clovis

Inadequate security occurs when a event organizer fails to provide appropriate security despite the presence of foreseeable risks. In Clovis, these claims often arise when safety concerns are ignored to save money.

Examples of negligent or inadequate security may include:

• Failing to hire licensed security guards
• Understaffing for the size of the property
• Poor lighting in garages
• Broken gates, locks, or access points
• Missing surveillance cameras or monitoring
• Ignoring prior crimes or safety complaints
• Inadequate planning for foreseeable threats

When injuries occur under these conditions, liability may extend far beyond the individual attacker.

Excessive Use of Force by Security Guards in Clovis

Security guards are not law enforcement. In Clovis, private security personnel have restricted powers and may not use excessive force.

Unfortunately, excessive force incidents frequently occur when guards are improperly supervised.

Excessive force may include:

• Striking patrons or visitors
• Improper restraints or chokeholds
• Over-detention
• Deployment of batons, pepper spray, or weapons without justification
• Intensifying minor disputes into violent encounters
• Detaining individuals without legal authority

Both the individual actor and the employer may be held legally responsible.
