I represent injured victims throughout Industry and Los Angeles County who were hurt because security was poorly planned, mismanaged, or reckless.

Understanding Negligent or Inadequate Security in Industry

Inadequate security occurs when a business operator fails to provide appropriate security despite the presence of known dangers. In Industry, these claims often arise when safety concerns are ignored to save money.

Examples of negligent or inadequate security may include:

• Refusing to hire qualified security guards
• Inadequate coverage for the size of the property
• Poor lighting in garages
• Unsecured gates, locks, or access points
• Nonfunctional surveillance cameras or monitoring
• Overlooking prior crimes or safety complaints
• Inadequate planning for foreseeable threats

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

Excessive Use of Force by Security Guards in Industry

Security guards are not police officers. In Industry, private security personnel have limited authority and may not use unnecessary force.

Unfortunately, excessive force incidents frequently occur when guards are placed in high-risk situations without guidance.

Excessive force may include:

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

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