The property owner had a legal responsibility to keep you safe. Generally, property owners must provide adequate security and be alert for potential threats. However, you must be able to prove that you had a legal right to be on the property at the time of your injury.
The property owner breached the duty of care by failing to act as a reasonable person in the same situation would have. He or she failed to keep the property safe by not fixing broken locks on windows, doors and/or gates or not properly responding to a security threat.

In Arizona, claims involving negligent security must be filed within two years from the date the incident occurred. This is mandated by the state’s personal injury statute of limitations, which sets a specific length of time victims have to take legal action.
Two years may seem like plenty of time, but it is important to note that building a strong case takes time. Failure to follow the deadline will likely result in being barred from court. Each case is different and there may be exceptions that shorten or extend the deadline too.
That is why we recommend speaking to a lawyer as soon as possible following your injury.
Understanding the value of your potential case is key in these types of claims. It is difficult to know the exact amount of your damages without knowing the specifics of your situation.
You may be eligible to pursue both economic and non-economic damages:
