Injured After an Assault? Put 29 Years of Defense Insight on Your Side

If you were assaulted or injured at an Anaheim property, inadequate security may have contributed to what happened. Broken locks, unsecured entrances, poor lighting, defective cameras, or insufficient security personnel can expose tenants, customers, guests, and visitors to preventable danger.

The crime itself doesn’t establish liability. A claim may depend on whether the danger was reasonably foreseeable, which precautions were reasonable under the circumstances, and whether a security failure contributed to the injury. We evaluate the property conditions, prior incidents, available safeguards, and decisions made by those responsible for the premises.

Call (949) 565-4281 for a free consultation about an assault or injury connected to inadequate security at an Anaheim property.

More Than 250 Cases Tried to Verdict

Our firm, Law Office of Marshall Silberberg, has recovered more than $500 million for injured clients. Marshall Silberberg has tried more than 250 cases to verdict, including more than 200 medical malpractice cases. We prepare every accepted case for litigation and trial rather than assume an insurer will make a fair offer.

Before founding our plaintiff-focused practice, Marshall spent 29 years representing hospitals and physicians as an insurance defense attorney. That background gives us insight into how insurers assess high-value claims, dispute causation, and attempt to limit damages. We have the resources to investigate substantial injuries and document future care, lost earning capacity, and other long-term effects.

How We Build an Anaheim Inadequate Security Case

Evidence can disappear quickly after an assault. Surveillance footage may be overwritten, physical conditions can change, and witnesses may become difficult to locate. We investigate who controlled the property, who assumed responsibility for security, what risks were known, and how the incident occurred.

Evidence that may inform the investigation includes:

Police records, incident reports, photographs, and security footage
Witness names, statements, and contact information
Access logs, maintenance records, and reports of broken gates or locks
Security policies, staffing records, and communications with property management
Records of prior similar incidents or complaints about dangerous conditions

Depending on the facts, potentially responsible parties may include a property owner, landlord, tenant, property manager, or security contractor. Control over the premises and responsibility for a specific security function can be central to determining property owner liability and whether another party also owed a duty of care.

Documenting Injuries & Long-Term Losses

We develop the medical and financial record alongside the liability investigation. Our long-standing relationships with medical experts and specialists can assist in evaluating serious injuries, future care needs, and disputed medical issues. Depending on the evidence and applicable law, recoverable damages may include medical expenses, lost income, reduced earning capacity, physical pain, emotional distress, and future treatment costs.

Properties & Conditions That May Warrant Investigation

These claims can arise on residential, commercial, or institutional properties. They may involve Anaheim tenants, customers, guests, employees, visitors, or others lawfully present at apartment communities, hotels, parking structures, stores, workplaces, schools, and event venues.

Potential security failures include:

Broken gates, locks, doors, or controlled-access systems
Dark walkways, stairwells, parking areas, or building entrances
Missing, obstructed, or malfunctioning security cameras
Unsecured access points or inadequate visitor controls
Absent security personnel or poorly implemented procedures
Missing warnings about known criminal activity or dangerous areas

A precaution that is reasonable for one property may not be appropriate for another. The analysis can depend on the property’s use, layout, access, prior incidents, expected visitors, anticipated risk, and the effectiveness and burden of the proposed measure.

California Liability for Foreseeable Criminal Conduct

California premises liability law may require a business proprietor or landlord to take reasonable steps to protect patrons, guests, or tenants from foreseeable criminal conduct. Foreseeability generally asks whether someone in the property controller’s position should have anticipated the type of danger based on the known circumstances.

A fact-supported claim generally examines:

Duty of care: Whether the property controller had a legal obligation to take reasonable precautions
Foreseeability: Whether prior similar incidents or other known conditions indicated a risk of criminal conduct
Breach: Whether the safeguards or response were unreasonable under the circumstances
Causation: Whether the inadequate condition or response contributed to the criminal event and injury
Damages: Whether medical, financial, physical, or emotional losses can be supported with evidence

Prior similar incidents can be important, but the absence of an earlier identical crime doesn’t necessarily end the inquiry. Courts may also consider the broader circumstances, the severity of the anticipated harm, and the feasibility of the measure at issue.

Preserving Evidence & Protecting Your Right to File

Surveillance footage, access records, incident reports, and property documentation may be lost or altered over time. Preserve any clothing, photographs, medical records, receipts, and communications with property management. A property insurer may also request a statement or authorization, and the effect of providing that information depends on the facts and scope of the request.

Under California Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1, personal injury claims generally have a two-year statute of limitations. Exceptions and shorter deadlines may apply, including for certain claims against government entities, so the filing period must be evaluated based on the specific circumstances.

Discuss Your Security-Related Injury With Our Firm

During a free initial consultation, you can tell us where the incident occurred, which security problems you observed, whether police or property management prepared a report, and what injuries resulted. We can assess the available facts and identify records that may require prompt preservation.

We represent clients throughout Orange County and Southern California, bringing defense-side insight, disciplined trial preparation, and the resources serious injury cases demand. Our representation is provided on a contingency fee basis, so you don’t pay attorney fees unless we obtain a recovery.
