26+ Years of Experience as a Negligent Security Attorney Serving Lake Elsinore
When you go out to a bar, restaurant or club the last thing you expect is to be injured, mugged, or assaulted. Unfortunately, patrons of local nightclubs, bars, and restaurants are often injured when these establishments fail to provide adequate security. These types of incidents seem to center around high traffic places and in 2014 a man was arrested for a knife attack at a karaoke bar in Lake Elsinore. Incidents like this may result in the business being held responsible for damages for failing to provide adequate security.

What Is Negligent Security?
Negligent security can take many forms, including:
- Lack of adequate security personnel, resulting in a fight or assault that could’ve been prevented
- Incompetent or inadequately trained security personnel
- Lack of proper lighting
- Lack of security cameras
- Inadequate security patrols
- Failure to protect against foreseeable harm
- Lack of security alarms
- Overzealous & aggressive security guards or bouncers
- Lack of proper locks on windows and doors
Failure to Protect Against Criminal Acts
According to California law, property owners in Lake Elsinore are negligent if they failed to take reasonable steps to secure their property against foreseeable criminal acts by third parties. If there has been a history of assaults, muggings, or bar fights in the establishment or the surrounding area, property owners may be obligated to provide enhanced security. The threat of criminal activity in these cases could be considered foreseeable.
The Paris Firm has a history of achieving great verdicts and settlements for clients in negligent security claims. If you or a member of your family was assaulted, mugged, or otherwise injured in a bar, restaurant, or night club, please call (909) 325-6185 to discuss your case and options.
Negligent Security Claims
If you have been injured in a criminal attack or assault on someone else’s property or at work, you may be able to recover compensation for your medical bills, lost income, and more from the property or business owner or the entity in control of the property. Property and business owners have a duty to provide adequate protection from criminal attacks. Although you may have a good personal injury case against the person who attacked you, your chances of actually collecting the money are much better when you pursue a negligent security lawsuit.
