Personal Injury

If you were assaulted in an Oregon parking garage, a negligent security claim may depend on what the owner or operator knew before the attack: prior incidents, broken lighting or access controls, patrol gaps, camera blind spots, and other evidence that made the risk foreseeable.

If you were robbed in an Oregon convenience store parking lot, the claim usually turns on what the store, landlord, or operator knew before the robbery: prior police calls, crime patterns, lighting, camera placement, staffing decisions, and whether evidence was preserved.

If a guard was on site but failed to patrol, respond, document threats, or follow post orders before an assault or robbery, an Oregon negligent security claim may include the third-party security company along with the property owner or operator.

When someone is hurt on private property because of another person's crime, the property owner's defense is often the same: "We can't control crime." In Oregon, that argument does not automatically end the case.

If you were assaulted at your Oregon apartment complex — especially when security features like gates or locks were broken, lighting was out, or complaints were ignored — the landlord or property manager may share legal responsibility.

A resident's age, frailty, dementia, or prior fall history may increase risk, but that does not automatically excuse an Oregon nursing facility after a serious fall. The key question is whether the facility followed required assessment, care-planning, supervision, transfer, mobility, medication-review, and post-fall duties and practices.
