Castle Rock Negligent Security Lawyer
Turn Pain into Power, Injury into Justice

We fight to make sure you’re heard. We win because your recovery depends on it. You deserve results, not excuses—let’s get to work.

When you visit a business or public property, you have a right to feel safe. You trust that the owner has taken reasonable steps to prevent foreseeable crimes and protect patrons from harm.

But when property owners cut corners on security, innocent people pay the price. Muggings, assaults, shootings – these traumatic crimes can leave victims with devastating physical and emotional injuries.

If you or a loved one has been attacked on someone else’s property, the compassionate legal team at Kennedy Injury Law in Castle Rock is here to help. We’ll hold negligent owners accountable and fight for the compensation you need to heal and move forward.

Understanding Negligent Security

Under Colorado law, property owners have a duty to provide a reasonably safe environment for visitors. This includes taking measures to prevent foreseeable criminal acts by third parties, such as:

  • Adequate lighting in parking lots and walkways
  • Secure locks and entry systems
  • Surveillance cameras and alarms
  • Trained security guards
  • Visible emergency phones or panic buttons
  • Fencing and access control
  • Background checks for employees

When owners fail to meet this duty, and a visitor is harmed as a result, they can be held liable for negligent security. Common examples include:

  • Apartment buildings with broken gates or locks
  • Hotels with inadequate room security
  • Bars or nightclubs that over-serve drunk patrons
  • Shopping centers with insufficient lighting or security patrols
  • Schools that fail to screen visitors or monitor entrances
  • Parking garages with non-functioning cameras or call boxes
  • Amusement parks that don’t properly screen or train employees

These lapses can lead to tragic crimes like assault, robbery, rape, and even murder. Victims are left with mounting medical bills, lost income, and the crushing weight of trauma.

Proving a Negligent Security Claim

Negligent security cases are complex. Owners will argue the crime was unforeseeable, the property was safe, or the victim was to blame. Overcoming these defenses requires prompt investigation and compelling evidence.

At Kennedy Injury Law, we move quickly to:

  • Inspect the crime scene and photograph security hazards
  • Obtain surveillance video before it’s erased
  • Interview witnesses while memories are fresh
  • Request police reports and criminal histories
  • Research the property’s crime trends and prior incidents
  • Consult with security experts to identify lapses
  • Analyze the owner’s training and prevention policies

Using this evidence, we build a powerful case demonstrating:

  1. The owner owed you a duty of care
  2. The property had inadequate security measures
  3. This negligence allowed the crime to occur
  4. You suffered injury and losses as a result

We’ll also gather your medical records, consult with psychological experts, and calculate your full range of damages to demand maximum compensation.

Compensation for Negligent Security Victims

A violent crime can shatter your sense of safety and well-being. You may be facing a long road of physical recovery, therapy, and lost opportunities. The at-fault property owner should be held accountable for all the ways this trauma has impacted your life.

At Kennedy Injury Law, we fight for negligent security victims to receive compensation for:

  • Medical expenses and future care needs
  • Mental health counseling and trauma support
  • Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
  • Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement
  • Loss of enjoyment and quality of life
  • Wrongful death damages for lost loved ones

You didn’t ask to be a victim of violence. You shouldn’t have to bear the financial burden of someone else’s negligence. Let us fight to get you the resources you need to reclaim your health and your future.

Holding Property Owners Accountable

Negligent security claims don’t just provide justice for individual victims. They also incentivize property owners to make meaningful safety improvements that can prevent future crimes. A successful case sends a powerful message that cutting corners on security has consequences.

At Kennedy Injury Law, we’re committed to creating safer communities for all Coloradans. By holding negligent owners accountable, we aim to:

  • Spur investment in effective security measures
  • Improve industry safety standards and practices
  • Deter criminals by increasing the risk of detection
  • Raise awareness of security vulnerabilities

No one should have to endure the trauma of a violent attack. Let us help you find a measure of justice while making Castle Rock a safer place to live, work, and visit.

What types of properties can be liable for negligent security?

Any property that invites guests or visitors can potentially be held liable for criminal acts due to inadequate security. This includes apartments, hotels, bars, nightclubs, restaurants, stores, malls, office buildings, schools, parking lots, amusement parks, and more.

What crimes are covered under negligent security law?

Negligent security claims can arise from a wide range of violent crimes, such as assault, battery, robbery, rape, kidnapping, and murder. Property owners may also be liable for crimes like theft or carjacking if they failed to provide reasonable security measures.

What if the criminal was never caught?

You can still pursue a negligent security claim even if the perpetrator was never identified or convicted. The focus is on the property owner’s failure to prevent the crime, not the criminal’s individual liability. However, a criminal conviction can provide strong evidence to support your claim.

How long do I have to file a negligent security lawsuit in Colorado?

Colorado’s statute of limitations for most personal injury lawsuits is two years from the date of injury. However, there may be exceptions that shorten or extend this deadline. It’s crucial to speak with an experienced attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.

What if the property owner claims I was trespassing?

Property owners generally owe no duty of care to trespassers, except in cases of willful or wanton conduct. If you were not lawfully on the premises at the time of the crime, it may be more difficult to pursue a negligent security claim. An attorney can help assess your legal status and options.

How much does it cost to hire a negligent security lawyer?

At Kennedy Injury Law, we handle negligent security cases on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing upfront, and we only collect a fee if we recover money for you. You have nothing to lose by scheduling a free consultation to learn about your rights and options.
