Pueblo West Negligent Security Claims
McCormick & Murphy are Pueblo West negligent security lawyers for people hurt in an assault where lighting, locks, or security were part of the danger. We file in Pueblo County Combined Courts.
A crime committed by another person is not automatically the property owner's fault. But owners who invite the public onto their property, like apartment complexes, businesses, and shopping areas along U.S. Highway 50 or Pueblo Boulevard, can have a duty to use reasonable care for the safety of people who visit.
For an invitee, part of that question can be whether the owner knew or should have known about a danger on the property and failed to take reasonable steps in response. Depending on the facts, that can involve broken lighting in a parking lot, doors or gates that do not lock properly, or a lack of staffing or security where it was reasonably needed.
We do not claim that one prior incident automatically makes an owner liable, and we do not claim that a property owner insures every visitor's safety. What matters is whether the specific facts show the owner failed to use reasonable care given what it knew or should have known about conditions on its property.
Proving A Negligent Security Case
These cases depend on documenting the conditions that existed at the time of the assault. That can include photos of lighting, locks, gates, and common areas, along with any maintenance or repair records showing the owner was aware of problems before the incident occurred.
We also look at incident reports, police reports, and any history of prior security concerns at the property that may show the owner had notice of a danger. Witness accounts from people at the property, including employees or security staff, can help establish what the owner knew and what precautions, if any, were in place.
- Request the police report filed after the incident
- Photograph lighting, locks, gates, and the area where the assault happened
- Get medical care and keep records of your treatment, including care at UCHealth Parkview Medical Center if you were treated there
- Write down what happened while your memory is fresh
- Avoid giving recorded statements to the property owner's insurer before speaking with us

Your Pueblo West Negligent Security Questions
Do I need Pueblo West negligent security lawyers after an injury?
Call Pueblo West negligent security lawyers when you were hurt, fault is disputed, or an insurer delays, denies, or offers less than the medical bills. The nearest office is at 301 N. Main Street, Pueblo, CO 81003.
Can I sue a property owner if someone else assaulted me?
It depends on the facts. A crime by another person is not automatically the owner's fault, but if the owner knew or should have known about a danger, like inadequate lighting or broken locks, and failed to use reasonable care, they may share responsibility.
Does one prior incident at a property automatically mean the owner is liable?
No. A single prior incident does not automatically create liability. We look at the full picture, including what the owner knew, what steps they took, and whether their response was reasonable given the circumstances.
What kind of security failures matter in these cases?
Depending on the facts, issues like broken or missing lighting, malfunctioning locks or gates, and inadequate staffing or security presence can be relevant. Whether these issues matter in your case depends on what the owner knew or should have known.
Do property owners guarantee visitor safety?
No. Owners are not insurers of a visitor's safety. The question is whether they used reasonable care under the circumstances, not whether every crime on the property could have been prevented.
What should I do after being assaulted on someone else's property in Pueblo West?
Get medical attention, report the incident to police, and document the conditions at the scene if you are able to. Contact us for a free consultation so we can help evaluate what happened and preserve evidence.
