Negligent Security & Excessive Force Lawyers in Anaheim, California
If you or someone you love was seriously hurt due to inadequate security measures or the excessive use of force by a security guard in Anaheim, California, you may have a valid claim under California law. Landlords and security contractors have a legal duty to take necessary steps to protect people from known criminal activity and to ensure that security personnel act within the law.
I represent injured victims throughout Anaheim and Orange County who were hurt because security was missing, improperly staffed, or out of control.
Understanding Negligent or Inadequate Security in Anaheim
Negligent security occurs when a landlord fails to provide reasonable security despite the presence of known dangers. In Anaheim, these claims often arise when safety concerns are ignored to cut costs.
Examples of negligent or inadequate security may include:
-
Refusing to hire trained security guards
-
Insufficient staffing for the size of the property
-
Nonexistent lighting in garages
-
Broken gates, locks, or access points
-
Nonfunctional surveillance cameras or monitoring
-
Overlooking prior crimes or safety complaints
-
No procedures for foreseeable threats
When injuries occur under these conditions, financial accountability may extend far beyond the individual attacker.
Excessive Use of Force by Security Guards in Anaheim
Security guards are not police officers. In Anaheim, private security personnel have narrow legal rights and may not use unreasonable force.
Unfortunately, excessive force incidents frequently occur when guards are placed in high-risk situations without guidance.
Excessive force may include:
-
Beatings patrons or visitors
-
Unlawful restraints or chokeholds
-
Over-detention
-
Use of batons, pepper spray, or weapons without justification
-
Worsening minor disputes into violent encounters
-
Holding individuals without legal authority
Both the security guard and the security company may be held legally responsible.
