Inadequate Security Attorneys in Sacramento, California

If you or someone you love was physically harmed due to inadequate security measures or the unlawful use of force by a security guard in Sacramento, California, you may have a valid claim under California law. Businesses and private security companies 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 Sacramento and Sacramento County who were hurt because security was missing, improperly staffed, or dangerously aggressive.

What Is Negligent or Inadequate Security in Sacramento

Negligent security occurs when a event organizer fails to provide reasonable security despite the presence of foreseeable risks. In Sacramento, these claims often arise when safety concerns are minimized to cut costs.

Examples of negligent or inadequate security may include:

  • Refusing to hire trained security guards

  • Inadequate coverage for the size of the property

  • Inadequate lighting in common areas

  • Broken gates, locks, or access points

  • Nonfunctional surveillance cameras or monitoring

  • Ignoring prior crimes or safety complaints

  • Poor procedures 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 Sacramento

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

  • Unlawful restraints or chokeholds

  • Over-detention

  • Deployment of batons, pepper spray, or weapons without justification

  • Worsening minor disputes into violent encounters

  • Holding individuals without legal authority

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